Lot 72
1795 Talbot Allum & Lee Cent Breen-1035 AU55. Lustrous medium brown with darker steel brown toning on the high points and traces of faded mint color remaining in a few places. Excellent eye appeal, just a few trivial contact marks and a light touch of friction on the high points. The edge is lettered and reads "WE PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER ONE CENT". Obviously this is neither a half cent nor an error strike. But it is added here because of the important relationship between these TAL cents (or at least their planchets) and our half cents.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
