Lot 22
1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. With "NEW YORK", Plain Edge. EF-40. Breen 1031. Rarity 7+. (Breen states that 3 or 4 specimens are known). A rare variety with a completely natural edge and no trace of any lettering as made. Perhaps lightly cleaned long ago and now toned to a pleasing, medium to dark chocolate brown in color with nice sharp details, smooth hard surfaces, and just a slight friction on the lighter high points. The "Red Book" makes a separate notation: "Rare Plain Edge specimens of both dates exist" referring to its importance. An opportunity to acquire a rarity for the Colonial specialist.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
