Lot Title:
|
1794 LM-4, V-4, R-4 AG-3.
|
Description:
|
An example of an issue actually struck in 1795 with an estimated mintage for all four varieties bearing this date of 7,756. This is the most common of the four varieties for this first official issue of this denomination actually struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The light gray surfaces have an array of minuscule surface pitting. Even though slightly bent, the piece shows most of the design details, which are somewhat weak in certain areas.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
