Bid Sale, April 20, 2002, Lot 994, where it was described (in
part) as follows: "...Choice
golden surfaces and great original mint luster adding to its natural eye
appeal. The reverse shows some raised die rust on the right side,
indicating an advanced state of the dies. Far more rare in Brass than in
Copper! A very lovely piece having but some trivial friction on the
highpoint of the sundial from grading even closer to Gem."
