1794 Cent Talbot, Allum & Lee New York, BN MS (PCGS#634)

August 2011 Chicago ANA World's Fair of Money Auction

详细说明: 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. With NEW YORK. W-8575. URS-4. Large & on Reverse. Plain Edge. VF-25 (PCGS). CAC. This is a very rare coin, the original paperwork accompanying this lot providing Don Taxay's estimate from the 1970s that this piece is "one of only three known" of the Large & on Reverse, Plain Edge type. A few more coins have since been attributed in collections, but it is still likely that no more than eight or so examples of W-8575 are positively confirmed to exist. Original copper-brown surfaces are overall smooth with only minor surface build up in the protected areas around and among the devices. There are no abrasions of note, and a minor planchet flaw in the left reverse field is as made. A find for the specialist.
