1797 S-135 Cent, MS64 Brown
Reverse of 1797, Stems, Nichols Find

1797 1C Reverse of 1797, Stems, S-135, B-5, R.3, MS64 Brown NGC. Breen Die State III with chips above the C in AMERICA. S-135 is one of the three Nichols Find varieties. The numismatic tale has Massachusetts Senator Benjamin Goodhue giving his daughters a group of Uncirculated large cents, in 1797 or early 1798. Circa-1860, those cents came into the hands of David Nichols of Gallows Hill, Massachusetts, who offered them for sale. The present near-Gem is a desirable representative with pleasing surfaces and minor central incompleteness of strike. Both sides display ample orange-gold color, along with lilac shades. The obverse shows blushes of steel-gray toning. Our EAC grade MS60.
From The Gibney Family Collection.
