Description
1795 Liberty Cap Large Cent, MS62 Brown
Popular Plain Edge, S-78, Ex: Husak
1795 1C Plain Edge, S-78, B-8, R.1, MS62 Brown PCGS. Ex:
Husak Collection. Several sets of weak clash marks are visible.
Breen suggests that all clash marks are gone and the dies are
polished, giving the surfaces a prooflike appearance that is seen
here. Either the dies reclashed, or the die polishing procedure did
not remove them entirely. Minor die buckling is visible in the
right obverse field. The date and LIBERTY are closely spaced. ONE
CENT is centered in the wreath and widely separated. The obverse
appears only on S-78. The reverse appears only on S-78. The
surfaces are glossy and retain nearly full cartwheel luster with
slight reflectivity in the fields. Both sides have numerous tiny
prestrike planchet nicks, and only a few other blemishes. Pleasing
tan color with splashes of darker brown and minor reddish
stains.Sheldon-78 is a common variety that is usually available in all grades, although Mint State coins can be elusive. According to Breen, reverse F (S-78) is "a Gardner die copying reverse C." Reverse C is found on S-76b. If Breen is correct, Gardner's talents were poorly utilized copying the work of others. Our EAC grade AU55.
