Republic bronze Pattern "Independence Centennial" 2000 Reis 1922 MS63 NGC, LMB-E241, cf. Bentes-E60.05 (date unlisted). The sole example graded across certification companies, a choice specimen, no less, with sharp designs that are cloaked in heavy mustard, olive, and charcoal tone. We note that although NGC has labeled the composition as aluminum, due to the patina of the piece, we believe it to be an alloy of aluminum-bronze.
