 1795 B.5. Three Leaves Below Each Wing. Brilliant Uncirculated and enjoying a very well balanced strike on either side. The peripheries are particularly sharp, there being excellent definition in the stars, legends, wreath, and denticles. The eagle's wing feathers on the reverse, as well as the majority of the obverse hair curls on Liberty are also very strong. Only the centers reveal a degree of softness at the breast feathers of the eagle, and in the obverse area surrounding Liberty's ear. Deep olive-gray fields and design elements are accented by delicate emerald and rose undertones. The lustre is somewhat muted, however the smoothness of the surfaces is exceptional for a coin of this design type.
