LOT 150 1794 S-71 R2 Head of 1795 G5 but Brass or Gold Plated. Slightly glossy bright brassy yellow with brown on the highpoints. The plating may be brass or gold; it’s rather bright for brass. The date is clear as are most of the legends, but the edge lettering was tapped down and lightly filed. May have been mounted at the rim over B in LIBERTY. Once thought to have been struck on a brass planchet.

LOT 154 1796 S-87 R3 Liberty Cap ANACS graded F12. Rather glossy chocolate brown and steel. The obverse is covered with very fine granularity but there is no verdigris. The only marks are a dull nick at the cap below the L and a couple thin nicks at the rim left of the date. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks on the obverse. The 6 is weak, as always due to swelling in that area, but the other digits are strong. Our grade is F15+ sharpness net VG10. The attribution is noted on the ANACS label. 7681359
