Co. 20 NL, CH LC-56A3. Uneven details, with some areas approaching VF, others barely VG. Scarce in copper. Examined by x-ray fluorescence, and shown to be 94.553% Cu, 4.176% Zn, 0.483% Pb, 0.350% Ir, 0.277% Ag, 0.096% Ni, 0.063% Sn, 0.003% Co -- too low a zinc content to be considered brass. Ex:GBell Auction #2 (July 2009) Lot 1224, where it realized $300.
