Proof Colonials
1795 Cent Talbot, Allum & Lee Cent, PR64 Brown PCGS. Fuld-1, W-8620, R.1. The Whitman Colonial Encyclopedia states "often prooflike (sometimes called Proof)." The surfaces of this coin, however, make a convincing case for this piece as a proof. The fields are deeply mirrored, and the reflectivity greatly enhances the iridescent lilac, brown, and red color seen over each side. The devices are fully struck. Listed on page 78 of the 2018 Guide Book.
Ex: Los Angeles Signature (Heritage, 8/2009), lot 23.
