Lot 1935
1795. Miller-12, Breen 8-I, Rarity-7. . M-12. EF-40. This rare obverse is quickly identifiable by a recut letter E between BE of LIBERTY and also the I is recut of that word. On the reverse, TAT of STATES and AME of AMERICA all touch at the bottom of these letters. Lovely copper gold in color, especially near the lettering and devices. There are adjustment marks on the reverse, a few of which run through the eagle, others criss crossing in the fields. A few scattered handling marks, as expected for the grade with a few on the eagle's body which will help identify this rare coin in the future. Sharply impressed, and a rare variety for the specialist to acquire. No duplicate was offered in the Bass sales of a few years ago, which confirms its rarity as a die pairing.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 10,000.
From the collection of Robert W. Miller, Sr.
