1795

LOT 98 1795 S-78 R1 Plain Edge VF20+ Sharpness VF30 but the rims are a bit uneven, as struck, particularly on the upper half of the obverse, and there are a few minor rim bruises. The notable ones are left of the cap, over the D in UNITED, and at the first S in STATES. Glossy chocolate brown with lighter brown in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth except for trivial planchet flakes on the upper part of the obverse and this cent has excellent eye appeal for the grade. E-MDS, Breen state II, with fine die clashmarks on both sides. $1,950

LOT 100

1795 S-78 R1 Plain Edge Fair-2+ Rather glossy dark chocolate brown and steel. There is some trivial roughness and a few contact marks but essentially this is just a very well worn cent. Very late die state with strong swelling on both sides, especially on the reverse where much of the legend is obliterated. The date is nearly full and easily readable. $99

LOT 99

1795 S-78 R1 Plain Edge G4 A couple points sharper but lightly burnished to remove fine roughness. No verdigris but there are a dozen dull pinpricks on the obverse. Rather glossy dark steel and olive brown. The date is strong and the legends are readable. M-LDS with swelling on both sides. $200
