Lot 2750
1795. 3 leaves beneath each wing. BB-27. Sharpness of VF-20. Nicely toned with light scratches around the obverse edge. BB-27 is the familiar variety with three leaves under each wing of the eagle and a short raised die line (slip of the engraver's tool?) behind Liberty at the top curl. The color is well balanced on this specimen. Natural medium gray for the fields (with some russet interspersed); lighter "rubbed silver" seen on uncleaned circulated silver coins of this age and condition. Very appealing.
Estimated Value $900 - 1,000.
Ex Mayflower Auction in the 1960's The Leo Wexler Collection.
