Lot Description

Exquisite 1794 Fuld-4 TAL Cent Ex Newman 1794 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Fuld-4, W-8590. Rarity-2. With NEW YORK. Small & on Reverse. Copper. Lettered Edge. MS-66 RB (NGC). 158.4 grains. This glorious upper end Gem really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. It is a minimally toned example with plenty of vivid pinkish-rose color shining forth as the surfaces rotate under a light. The fields are noticeably reflective from a semi-prooflike finish, and they form a splendid backdrop to frosty, sharply impressed design elements. Both the striking quality and preservation are exceptional, making this a stellar type candidate from the first-year Talbot, Allum & Lee cent issue. Provenance: Ex Heritage's sale of the Eric P. Newman Collection, Part IV, May 2014, lot 30395; Heritage's Summer FUN Signature Auction of July 2015, lot 3005; Heritage's April 2019 CSNS Signature Auction, lot 3017.
