Description
Delightful 1795 Asylum-Edge Liberty and Security Penny
MS63 Red and Brown
1795 PENNY Liberty and Security Asylum MS63 Red and Brown
PCGS. B-30, R.2. It is believed that sometime in 1795 Kempson &
Sons of Birmingham, England, struck the Liberty and Security
pennies, ostensibly to convince the U.S. Congress that they should
be given a coinage contract should the fledgling Philadelphia Mint
fail. Many of these were actually sent to the United States where
they saw limited circulation. This delightful example features a
50/50 distribution of brown and red patina, with significant luster
around the periphery. The details are sharply defined, and only a
couple of minor marks and copper spots limit the grade. A lovely
example of the popular Asylum-edge variety. Listed on page 80 of
the 2009 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 396011)
