1794 S-18b R4 Head of 1793, Edge of 1794, MS64 Brown PCGS, CAC
Approved. Choice glossy light steel brown with tan in protected
areas. The fields are slightly reflective and this cent has superb
eye appeal. A truly remarkable example of the 1794 Head of 1793

struck, and the planchet quality is essentially flawless. The only

dentils below the lowest curl, another inside the D in UNITED, and
one connecting the tops of the N & T in CENT. Intermediate die
state, Heck die state 1, Breen state IV, with a slight bulge in the
field under the cap and a clear die defect above the right side of
the M in AMERICA. Graded MS63 Choice and finest known in the Noyes
census, his photo #21932. This cataloger's EAC grade is MS63. A
cent for the finest collection, by type or die variety, and it
comes with a remarkable provenance that has remained unbroken for
well over 150 years. The attribution and D. Brent Pogue Collection
provenance are noted on the special PCGS label. PCGS population 1;
none finer. 35513.64/50240170.Ex John F. McCoy, W. Elliot Woodward 5/1864:661-J. N. T. Levick, Edward Cogan 5/1865:1352-Abram S. Jenks, Edward Cogan 4/12/1877:701-George W.

Brent Pogue, Stack's Bowers/Sotheby's 3/31/2017:5093-The Liberty Cap Foundation.
Dallas, Texas native D. Brent Pogue, who was born in 1964, earned an economics degree from the University of Texas in Austin. Following his graduation, Pogue worked as a real estate analyst for Goldman-Sachs on Wall Street, and later as an asset manager for Praedium Fund in Los Angeles. His numismatic interest began at age 10, and he went on to form what some consider the most valuable collection of American coins in private hands. Stack's Bowers and Sotheby's conducted multiple auctions of the collection beginning in 2015. Pogue was just 54 years old when he died in 2019.
From The Collections of Walter J. Husak and The Liberty Cap Foundation.
