Br. 523. Bank of Montreal Sideview Penny, 1838. - Courteau 37. CH LC-11A2. Copper. 19.53 grams. AU, with a marvellous surface, but for a small spot between chimney & "r" on obv. The "B" of "Bank" on ribbon on rev. appears worn, but this can hardly be so based on a full examination of the coin. A great coin! A comparable specimen in the Ford Sale brought $16,000.00 U.S., hammer price, plus the 17½% buyer's premium. That specimen, however had a strong "B" in "Bank".

Note this lot is part of the Richard Cooper Collection.
