Δ The plate coin, is possible one of top graded of any of the known examples outside of any museum. It was certified by NGC as Proof 63. [1]
The specimen, was purchase by the present owner in 1993 from Randy Weir Numismatics Ltd. of Markham, Ontario, Canada. It's been more than 15 years and has not seen another in the numismatic market.
Δ The second specimen carefully guarded within the collection of the Mint's Museum, perhaps the only know 1837 specimen in public hands, today resides in the Mint's premises at Llantrisant, whose present structure was built in 1968. [2]
