1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Fuld-1c, W-8640. Plain Edge. MS-64 BN (NGC).

Extremely Rare Plain Edge 1795 TAL Token Finest of Perhaps Three Known 1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Fuld-1c, W-8640. Plain Edge. MS-64 BN (NGC). The finest example of the three known to us, surpassing the NGC AU-58 from New Netherlands' 48th sale to Norweb, and the EF in our (Stack's) 1984 Picker sale. This coin, and the two like it, appear to be examples that missed the edge mill and thus were struck without upsetting or an edge device. They are as much errors as anything, but have been cataloged by Fuld, Breen, and Whitman as a distinct variety. This example is superbly detailed and offers exemplary aesthetic appeal, with choice and lustrous golden-brown surfaces and pleasing olive contrasting toning around devices. A single little rim abrasion is noted at 12 o'clock on the obverse, otherwise gem. This piece is the only example seen by PCGS, graded MS-64 BN by them; it serves as the sole piece illustrated to represent this variety at PCGS CoinFacts. An important rarity in the series. Provenance: From the Winslet Collection. Earlier ex Donald G. Partrick; Heritage's sale of the Donald G. Partrick Collection, March 2021, lot 15150. NGC Census: 1; 0 finer. PCGS# 875093. NGC ID: 2B63. Click here for certification details from NGC.
