Description

1794 S-38, B-25 Cent, VF Details
Second Single Berry Reverse

1794 1C Head of 1794, S-38, B-25, R.5 -- Corrosion -- NGC Details. VF. Ex: Carlyle Luer Collection. The obverse has heavy die chips in the field below the cap, and that feature combined with the single berry reverse is diagnostic for attribution. The outer field chip is not obvious on this early die state example. Both sides have extensive porosity on the olive and light brown surfaces. Trivial obverse rim nicks are noted at 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock. This piece comes with a hand-written envelope with a grade of VF20. A missing coin in the Condition Census is from the Thomas Warfield collection in 1955, and is described as "Fine 15. Sharpness of VF-25 but damaged at the edges." While that coin was unplated in the catalog, it could easily be this example. Our EAC grade VG8.
From The Carlyle A. Luer Collection.
