1795 Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent. Fuld-1, W-8620. Rarity-1. Lettered Edge: WE PROMISE TO PAY THE BEARER ONE CENT. MS-64 RB (PCGS). A glorious Choice Uncirculated example with minimal gray-brown iridescence to otherwise dominant rose-orange mint color. Satin to softly frosted surfaces are predominantly smooth with just a few trivial obverse blemishes precluding an even higher numeric grade. The strike is tight to 7 oclock on the obverse, 11 oclock on the reverse, but only isolated portions of the denticulation are off the flan, and all design elements are crisp. This is the most frequently encountered variety of the Talbot, Allum & Lee cent, the present example ideal for inclusion in a high grade Mint State type set. From the Collection of Dr. Frances W. Constable.
