Lot Description

Undated (1795) Washington Liberty and Security Penny. Baker-30, W-11050. Rarity-2. ASYLUM Edge. MS-63 RB (PCGS). Satiny and lustrous golden tan surfaces exhibit a wealth of rich mint orange iridescence in the fields and among the devices. The strike is bold for the issue; this type is usually soft at the epaulettes on the obverse and at the eagle's breast feathers on the reverse, but here the details are nearly as complete as ever seen. Choice for the grade.
