 1795 Tar.4, Br.3-B (R-5). 13 Leaves. About Uncirculated. Tip of the '5' in this date does not touch the bust. There are 15 obverse stars, 13 leaves in the reverse branch that define this bold variety. Wear must be described as minimal, and generally smooth fields display colorful rose-red coalescing around the reliefs for outstanding beauty. This handsome coin fits neatly into the lower half of Taraszka's listing of ''significant specimens'' for the variety, comprising three About Uncirculated coins, two basic Mint State pieces and one near-Gem. The Dannreuther-Garrett 10-year auction listing records only two offerings of this specific die variety. This coin's appearance presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the determined collector.
From the Lawrence C. Licht Collection.
