详细说明

Like many of the silver plugged 1795 dollars, this one is a B-7, BB-18. Hints of luster cling to the protected areas of the devices, which were sharply struck, still displaying bold definition, despite its moderate wear. The fields show some light scratches, including what looks like a fancy script "M" behind Liberty's head. The central silver plug is fully outlined and visible to the naked eye. Despite the minor flaws, this CHOICE VF has a very nice eye appeal. The mint inserted silver plugs into planchets deemed too light. A small hole was drilled (usually in the center), and a small plug of silver was inserted before striking, bringing the weight within tolerance. PCGS 9, NGC 4. A very pleasing looking coin, finer in eye appeal than the one that recently sold for $17,038 in the 2017 ANA auction. We had the pleasure of selling one in July 2013 for $23,000. The current PCGS value is listed at $21,500. A rare and important artifact of the first U.S. mint. Cert. Number 85101603 PCGS # 6854
