Description

1794 S-61, B-53 Head of 1794 Cent, VF35
A Top 20 Example

1794 1C Head of 1794, S-61, B-53, R.4, VF35 PCGS. Breen Die State I. Maris called his variety 23, known today as Sheldon-60, the "Patagonian," and that term applies equally to Sheldon-61 that is from the same obverse die. As a Fine 15, this piece is tied for the 26th finest known. However, five of the finer pieces haven't been seen for decades, and three better examples are found in museums. Therefore, this distinctly olive-brown cent is tied for the 18th finest in collector's hands. Minor reverse pitting prevents a higher grade. Our EAC grade Fine 15.
Ex: David Olmstead (Alpine Numismatics, 4/1998).
