Description
PCGS 1795 MS 65. V-4, R.4. Showing the rim break over the TY in LIBERTY and on down to star 9. Obviously from the Wadsworth-Rea hoard which was dispersed in the early 1880s, the V-4 variety was one that was found in lesser quantity in the hoard. The quality of this piece is outstanding, head and shoulders above most of the other hoard coins. The mint luster is fully intact and both sides are originally toned with rich reddish colored centers that are framed by deep cobalt-blue at the margins. Very well struck, the hair curls are especially well defined and even the eagle's breast shows some light breast feather detail. The only marks of any consequence are three cuts on and beneath the left wing of the eagle on the reverse. A significant early type coin that is much needed in high grade by type collectors. Population: 7 in 65, only 1 finer (5/94).
