18.12.26.10_Model_Penny.jpgLot # 1856 viewsMark - 1848 Joseph Moore Model Penny. In 1840's the British Royal Mint looked into producing smaller coins as a less expensive alternative to the large coppers of the day. Moore produced a line of "model" coins he hoped to sell to the Crown. Included were what were considered the world's first bimetallic coin designs (Axum notwithstanding). Although not "official", his model series was so well received that the mint offered him a job - which he turned down. 10mm .925 AR core in 22mm Bronze outer ring. $25 Start, S&H $2 US, $3 OS - lehmansterms@comcast.netlehmanstermsDec 25, 2010
