Lot 2235
1787 Auctori Plebis Copper Breen-1147. VF-35. Choice glossy chocolate and olive brown with frosty lighter brown toning in some of the protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and nearly flawless. The only mark is a small, dull rim nick over the P in PLEBIS. The lower third of the date is off the planchet, as usual, as the designs on the reverse die were too large for the planchets employed. For the same reason parts of the legend at the top of the reverse are also off the planchet. A well struck example with outstanding eye appeal, choice in every respect. It comes with a photo certification from the Colonial American Coin Club signed by Walter Breen and Don Taxay on which they assigned a grade of "Very fine plus for coin which is habitually weakly struck, especially on the head."
Estimated Value $300 - 500.
