Lot 125
1795 S-78 R1 Plain Edge. MS-62 Plus. Clipped Planchet. Choice lustrous bluish steel brown delicately mottled with chocolate brown toning on both sides. The surfaces are smooth and the obverse fields are slightly reflective with a minimum of the usual tiny planchet imperfections. No spots, stains, or contact marks. The best identifying defects are a microscopic planchet chip in the field under the bust tip and a tiny curved planchet clip affecting the dentils over the A in STATES, both defects as struck. Very close to MS63. Great luster and eye appeal, certainly a condition census example. LDS, Breen state VI. Crumbling joins the top of the 5 to the bust. Removed from a PCGS slab graded MS-62 BN. PCGS Population 2; None fine at PCGS for the variety. Perhaps its the same as PCGS has only graded a total of 2 coins both MS-62 BN. DWH #2718.
Estimated Value $15,000-UP.
