1787 Auctori Plebis Breen-1147 AU50

Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Smooth, lustrous, and nearly flawless with outstanding eye appeal. Just a touch of friction on the highest points of the devices. A light horizontal scratch hidden on the bust is the only notable mark, and you need a glass to find it. These dies were shallowly cut so the designs are never "sharp", and the planchets were too small for the designs so some of the legend falls off the planchet. Nonetheless this is a beautiful piece, certainly one of the finest seen of the type. Weight 114.0 grains.
