Description

1797 S-135, B-5 Cent, MS64+ Brown
From the Famous Nichols Find

1797 1C Reverse of 1797, Stems, S-135, B-5, R.3, MS64+ Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: McAllister-Oakes. Breen Die State IV with faint clash marks on the reverse, and a small die bulge between the D and the first S of UNITED STATES. Wisps of blue overtones appear on the medium olive-brown surfaces, with considerable golden-tan color that has faded from once-fiery mint red. There were three varieties included in the Nichols' Find: S-119, S-123, and S-135. The number of coins was considerable, based on the number of survivors that exist today. For S-135 alone, Del Bland estimates that about 70 pieces exist in Mint State.
Ex: James G. Macallister; Dean Oakes; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2014), lot 5124.
