Lot 185
1795 S-75 R3 Lettered Edge. PCGS graded AU-58+. CAC. Very attractive frosty light to medium brown. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only "defects" are some shallow low spots inside the wreath (caused by oil or grease on the die). MDS, Breen state IV, with fine die rust and irregular die cracks on both sides. Our grade is MS60. Not seen by Noyes or Bland. In our opinion the folks at PCGS aimed a bit low on this one. Removed from an NGC holder graded MS63BN. The attribution and Great Pacific Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 5 finer: 2 in 62, 2 in 64, 1 in 65 at PCGS. (PCGS # 35717) Value $15,000 - UP
Ex American Numismatic Rarities 3/2004:309-Great Pacific Collection.
