Lot 127
1795 S-78 R1 Large Diameter Planchet. Plain Edge. VG-10. A couple points sharper with faint granularity covering the fields and protected areas. The roughness is visible only with the aid of a strong glass and is mostly hidden under an attractive and rather glossy chocolate brown patina. The fields are a dark shade of chocolate while the highpoints are several shades lighter, and the contrast accents the details and adds to the eye appeal. MDS. A small die chip shows along the bottom edge of the jaw but the top of the 5 is not crumbled to the bust. The date and legends are complete and the date is strong. Struck on an oversize planchet with a diameter of 30 millimeters, about 2mm larger than normal. DWH #3506.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
