Middlesex 239 (Scarce). Political and Social Series. White metal penny. 16.18 gm. 36.5 mm. 1800. A man's head trying to swallow the world: THE UNCHARITABLE MONOPOLIZER WILL STARVE THE POOR around the outer portion; TAKE NOT WHAT WAS MADE FOR ALL in a circle around the globe / An open hand dropping coins into other hands and an upturned hat, an all-seeing eye above, radiate, with the notation WELL DONE; THE CHARITABLE HAND COME ALL YE DISTRESSED around. Brilliant Uncirculated; faint hairlines; overall an exceptional example of this bitingly satirical issue.
