Description

1794 S-67, B-59 Cent, Fine 12
10% Off Center, Plain Edge
Oversized Planchet

1794 1C Head of 1795 -- Struck 10% Off Center -- Fine 12 NGC. S-67, B-59, R.3. Our EAC Grade VG10. Ex: Mervis Collection. Breen Die State indeterminate. This piece is struck about 10 to 15% off center to 12 o'clock, and it has a plain edge, all on an oversize planchet. The edge lettering was an entirely different process from the actual minting, making this piece a double mint error, and an especially exciting item from the second year of Mint operations in Philadelphia. Somewhat glossy maroon and golden-tan patina accompanies microscopic surface roughness on this impressive cent.
Ex: Henry Hilgard; Michael Arconti (Superior, 7/2003), lot 10.
From The Adam Mervis Large Cent Collection.
