Lot 556
1795 S-75 R3. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. Lettered Edge. Lustrous light olive and chocolate with steel overtones on the highpoints. The only marks on otherwise choice surfaces are a few dozen microscopic pinprick-like planchet chips scattered over the obverse, as struck. The reverse, however, is flawless except for a couple shallow low spots inside the wreath (caused by traces of debris on the die). M-LDS, Breen state V early. The obverse is starting to buckle and both sides display traces of fine die rust (raised lumps on the coin). Called AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#21 in the Noyes census, his photo #32599. Our grade is AU55.The attribution and Wells provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
