- 1795 Breen- 1 A, Taraszka-1. 13 Leaves. MS-65 (PCGS). An amazing coin that is truly one of the very finest known of this date, issue and type. The surfaces are alive with radiant lustre, and the coin glows like the embers of a fire. Boldly struck for this issue, with excellent details on Liberty’s curls, and on the eagles feathers. Trace adjustment marks can be seen on the uppermost feathers of the eagle, but these are not distracting and require a glass to discern. Identifiable by a tiny nick in the lower reverse field below the first two leaves on the branch, and a tiny adjustment mark across the eagle’s neck. PCGS has graded only 1 coin this high, and 1 higher, as MS-66 of this date. NGC has graded 3 as MS-65, but none higher. Therefore, we can conclude that this is one of the very finest known of the date, type and issue.Note that this is the first year of issue, and the type lasted just 3 short years. Designed by Robert Scot and this was the highest denomination coin made at the Philadelphia Mint until 1849.
