Description
Singular MS66 Red 1794 'New York'
Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent
1794 1C Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent, NEW YORK MS66 Red PCGS.
Breen-1029, Fuld-4, W-8590, R.1. This is the most extraordinary
Talbot, Allum & Lee cent we have ever seen. This is the only full
red example graded by either service in any grade. The surfaces are
bright and show uniform, unmellowed color over both sides with
sparkling, semiprooflike fields. Sharply struck throughout. The
most curious part of the full red and high grade of this Talbot,
Allum & Lee cent is the date: this is a 1794, not a 1795. According
to Breen's Encyclopedia, "Those dated 1795 were formerly
considered rare, but a hoard found in Britain after WW II yielded
many Unc. examples, mostly brown to light olive, fewer original
red." Population: 1 in 66 Red, 0 finer (10/09). Listed on page 72
of the 2010 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 636, Greysheet# 277)
