1794 HEAD OF 1793 CENT, VG8
CONDITION CENSUS S-18A RARITY
1794 S-18a R6 Head and Edge of 1793 VG8 PCGS, CAC Approved.
Glossy medium steel brown and light chocolate with a puff of darker
olive brown toning on the lower part of the cap. The surfaces are
smooth and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent, especially for
a rare variety that usually comes with significant defects. Just a
few minor marks including a tiny rim bruise left of the lowest
curl, a spot of very fine carbon in the leaves under the first A in
AMERICA, a dull rim nick over the first S in STATES, and a minor
planchet lamination at ED in UNITED (as struck). MDS, Breen state
III, before any swelling in the field under the cap. The date is
relatively weak, as always on this variety, but it is easily
readable. Most of the legends are clear although a few letters on
the reverse are weakening near the rims. The edge lettering is
complete and bold, including the downturned leaf following DOLLAR.
Graded G6 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #20106.
Del Bland says VG8 and CC#5 in his census. This cataloger's EAC
grade is VG8. The reverse of this cent is plated on page 41 in the
1979 Tom Morley grading reference for 1794 cents. A nice example of
this very rare variety, the final piece acquired to complete
Walter's collection of Sheldon-numbered 1794 cents. The attribution
and Trollan Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS

A Carthage, Indiana native, Dr. Charles L. Ruby was born in 1900, and died in Fullerton, California in 1997.
