Description

Pleasing 1794 S-28 Cent, MS62 Brown

1794 1C Head of 1794 MS62 Brown PCGS. S-28, B-10, High R.2. Die State IV. An exceptionally pleasing 1794 cent. Struck on a tight, smooth planchet that shows almost no porosity. Just a couple of isolated areas of porosity are seen around the margin of the reverse. It is believed that 15,000 S-28 cents were struck on March 5-7, 1794. The striking details are exceptionally strong on the obverse with only minor weakness on the reverse. While labeled by PCGS as a Brown coin, there is a considerable presence of mint red still in evidence just beneath the light overlay of brown. A small mark is located near the obverse rim at 3:30, and there is a tiny dig over the I in AMERICA on the reverse. A superior example of this variety. EAC 55.
