- Outstanding Liberty and Security Penny Circa 1795 Liberty and Security Penny. Musante GW-45, Baker-30, Breen-1254. Copper. Lettered edge, AN ASYLUM FOR THE OPPRESSED OF ALL NATIONS. MS-64 RB (PCGS). 33.3 mm. 304.8 grains. An exceptionally beautiful example. Light reddish brown on the obverse with outlines of more fiery orange around the legends. The reverse is similar, though with considerably more of the inviting original coppery orange through the fields. Glossy and lustrous throughout with immensely satisfying eye appeal. Though slightly off center on the thick flan, the impression is bold with all details nicely struck up, including faint die finishing lines in areas of the fields are easily lost with minimal handling. The edge device is likewise crisp, with original red remaining in the recessed letters. A very handsome example, probably warranting the term, ideal, even for the most discriminating collector. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
