5188 English Penny Shot by Annie Oakley in England 1890,

Estimate
n. a.
Price realised:
US$1,035
Beschreibung:

1884 British copper penny with .22 caliber bullet hole, counter-stamped OAKLEY. Annie was a shotgun specialist, but when the sharp shooters from Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show were invited to the prestigious British rifle match at Wimbledon, she took the opportunity to show up her young rival, Lillian Smith, beating her at her own game, which was the rifle. It is possible that this penny is from that competition. Provenance: Property of the former First National Bank of Fremont, Indiana Condition: Fine old brown copper patina VG+.
