"Seldom seen Cohoes, NY Date Back - One of two reported in the '06 Kelly and by far the best condition. Rarity, clean face, strong sigs and no faults. As nice a VF as you will find these days, lots of body and good paper. Cohoes derives its name from the Indian word for "Salmon"; Cohoes being situated at the falls of the Hudson River representing the furthest north that salmon could migrate. Obviously great fishing grounds for the Mohawks of the territory since Algonquins generally did not come south of "Split Rock" on Lake Champlain. Forgetting the history, its still a great 3rd Charter"
Starting Bid is $425.00
