Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Unique CAMBRIDGE BEDFORD HUNTINGTON X.X Edge 1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Fuld-Unlisted, W-8635. Rarity-8+. Lettered Edge: CAMBRIDGE BEDFORD HUNTINGTON X.X. AU-55 (PCGS). An exciting offering of a unique edge variety of 1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee cent. Aside from the usual WE PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER ONE CENT edge, there are four alternate edge variations including the present type, a piece in Ford with a CURRENT EVERYWHERE edge, a piece described as "two leaves on edge" in the Whitman Encyclopedia, and a plain edge. All of these extremely rare subvarieties appear to be known by just a single specimen. This unique example happens to also be an attractive coin, with light olive-brown and steel surfaces that have a somewhat subdued, matte-like luster but with very little wear and no distractions. A prize for one lucky bidder, a fascinating and surprising rarity on this generally straightforward type. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection.
