Lot Title:

1794 Lettered Edge (S-57) ANACS VF-20 details/corroded, and a 1798 (S-182, R.3+)Second Hair Style, F-12 details/corroded.
|
|
Description:
|
The 1794 S-57 is incorrectly listed as "1795 Lettered Edge" on the ANACS insert, though the details grade is easily commensurate for the definition seen on the obverse. This is actually a great coin given the "corroded" disclaimer, since the surface issues are relegated to the reverse, and even so, the roughness is not that bad at all. S-57 is not scarce, but any 1794 that looks this nice deserves better attention than what is suggested by the grade. The 1798 S-182 is significantly scarcer, with both ANACS descriptors of "Fine details" and "corroded" accurate. The color is actually quite pleasing, but a loupe reveals not only crumbly surface texture, but also some odd, lengthy striations in the fields. Two coin lot.

Difficult to find in an auction venue is this pair of 1795 copper coins that offer budgetary appeal, as well as pleasing surface quality for the grade. The 1795 C-6a "no pole" half-cent offers... |
