1795 Plain Edge (S-76 B) F. 1795 Plain Edge (S-76 B) F.
Lot Title: 1795 Plain Edge (S-76 B) F.
Description: Green Eggs and Ham Consignment. It's virtually impossible to predict how the services will grade copper on any given day, but this one appears nicer than average for an 18th century piece, and seems to warrant a straight F-12 commercial grade. Dark nut-brown patina dominates the eye-appeal with low-contrast presentation, but the surface quality seems to be significantly better than the usual pitted or discolored examples. Darned tootin' nice! (PCGS# 035723)

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.

Low Estimate: $800.00
High Estimate: $1,000.00

1795 (S-76b, R.1) Plain Edge, Thick Planchet Fine...
Nearly stunning at first glance, with what appears to be amazingly smooth surfaces and pleasing chocolate-walnut color. Further examination shows that the smoothness was induced by skillful...

1795 "Plain Edge/Five Three-Leaf Clusters on Left. Branch/One Cent...
5 in the date is embedded into the bust, and the denomination is centered within the wreath, but the most interesting aspect of S-77 is the nine separate sets of trebled leaves in the wreath. Steely...
117The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$650.00
1795 Plain Edge (S-78, R.1). PCGS F-12.
Examining the shape of the "5" in the date is sufficient to attribute the common S-78, since it is the only curved-top 5 for which the end of the upper stroke is not buried in the bust. Further, only...
439The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$475.00
1795 Plain Edge, One Cent High (S-76b, R-1). VF details, corroded.
Fine microporosity does not detract all that much from the appearance of this very bold 1795 cent. Obverse dentilation is outstanding for the grade, and much central hair detail shows in Liberty's...
494The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$380.00
1795 Plain Edge, One Cent High (S-76b, R-1). Fine details.
Both obverse and reverse are almost perfectly centered, resulting in good obverse dentilation. Microporosity is a little unevenly distributed, but is counterbalanced by pleasing color. EAC 8.
190The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$450.00
1795 Plain Edge, One Cent High large-cent (S-76b R-1). Fine, corroded.
A "plain edge" coin that displays better quality on the obverse than the reverse. Corrosion affects the lower left and right fields around Liberty's portrait, and most of the reverse shows surface...
210The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$475.00
1795 Plain Edge. VF-25 Details.
A very nice obverse is paired up with a reverse that displays corrosive effects for this common Sheldon die marriage. Although much of the obverse dentilation is off the planchet, "LIBERTY" and the...
264The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$450.00
1795 Plain Edge S-78, R-1. VG-10.
Lovely brown surfaces complement this common issue. A few insignificant marks and some light porosity do not diminish its overall appearance for this assigned grade level. Liberty's head is well...
265The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$320.00
1795 S-76b, R-1, Plain Edge. VG-10.
Pale golden brown in aspect, it has light surface granularity and a couple delicate scratches on Liberty's profile. The definition is congruent for the ascribed condition level.
253The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$625.00
1795 Plain Edge. VF.
This cent still has a lot of meat. It has been cleaned, and is a little too light in color, so a few years in a manila envelope would do it a world of good. The detail approaches the XF level, and...
