Lot 121
1795 S-76b R1 Plain Edge with ONE CENT High. AU-55. Thin Planchet with Plain Edge. Frosty medium brown with hints of light bluish steel overtone in protected areas. Very close to mint state but a strong glass reveals a few microscopic hairlines on the obverse. Otherwise this cent is free of defects. Excellent eye appeal. MDS, Breen state IV. There are delicate die clashmarks visible on both sides and the pole still reaches the bust (later states from lapped dies have the pole attenuated before it reaches the neck). DWH #3527.
Estimated Value $7,500-UP.
