Description
1795 S-76b Cent, MS63 Brown
Remarkable Plain Edge Example
1795 1C Plain Edge, S-76b, B-4b, R.1, MS63 Brown NGC. The
Plain Edge cents were minted late in the year, or early in 1796,
following George Washington's declaration to lower the weight of
the copper cents as a cost-saving measure due to increasing copper
prices. The S-76b, with the placement of ONE CENT high in the
wreath, is thought to be the first of the new lower-weight cents
struck on or after December 27, 1795. This variety is also the most
plentiful of those coins, with several Mint State examples known.
The present piece is a remarkable specimen, struck slightly
off-center, with bold design definition and smooth chocolate-brown
surfaces. Our EAC grade AU55. Census: 6 in 63 Brown, 6 finer
(2/15), for all 1795 Plain Edge varieties and color designations.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 223T, Variety PCGS# 35723, Base PCGS# 1380, Greysheet# 77492)
