Description
1795 NC-3, B-7 Cent, Poor 1
The Jack Beymer Discovery Coin
1795 1C Plain Edge Poor 1 NGC. NC-3, B-7, High R.7. Jack
Beymer discovered the NC-3 die combination in April 1980, and since
that time, five additional pieces have been located. This example
is the original discovery coin, and the lowest grade of all six
examples. However, despite extensive wear, it is extremely
attractive with smooth medium brown surfaces. The head of Liberty
is nearly completely outlined with a few hair strands visible, as
well as LIB of LIBERTY and the 5 in the date. About half of the
reverse details are also visible. The finest example grades just
Good 4, based on EAC standards, so all known specimens are "rather
uninspiring" as Bob Grellman wrote in the Dan Holmes catalog.Ex: Washington, D.C. coin show (7/1979); Jack Beymer who discovered the variety on April 5, 1980; Dr. Robert J. Shalowitz (5/1981); R.E. Naftzger, Jr. (2/23/1992); Eric Streiner (3/20/1992); Robinson S. Brown, Jr. (Superior, 1/1996), lot 109; Chris Victor-McCawley (FPL, 3/1997); later, to Phil Clover.
