KM-17; Cal-119; cf. Nesmith-11. Weight: 13.54 gms. Variety with Latin "M" on reverse. This nicely preserved and lustrous example exhibits a bold strike with well-formed devices on a nice round planchet. Light attractive tone throughout with rich thick slate patina in the legends of the obverse and reverse between 1 o'clock and 5 o'clock. Close inspection reveals a slightly granular surface texture to the right of the shield with light hairlines from attempted removal of the oxidation in the legends. Despite its shortcomings this handsome example offers a pleasing appearance and much originality. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
