Lot 118
1795 S-74 R4- Lettered Edge. EF-40. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with darker olive brown toning in protected areas and delicate overtones of light bluish steel on both sides. No spots or stains, and the only defect of any consequence is a planchet void on the edge affecting the dentils above the T & Y in LIBERTY, as struck. This planchet flaw certainly is a distraction, but otherwise the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. E-MDS, Breen state II, without bulging at the 7 in the date. Called EF40 and tied for CC#7 in the Bland census. Noyes says EF45 net VF35 and tied for CC#10, his photo #37397. DWH #2716.
Estimated Value $6,500-UP.
