Description

1794 S-18b, B-2b Cent, XF40
Head of 1793, Edge of 1793

1794 1C Head of 1793 XF40 PCGS. CAC. S-18b, B-2b, R.4. Our EAC Grade VF25. 1794 Edge Device. Breen Die State III. The reverse is clashed and lapped, with traces of clash marks inside the wreath, and with the right ribbon fragmented. Although the edge is not visible through the holder, the die state indicates the 1794 edge device, as does the condition of this piece. Splendid golden-tan surfaces with deeper color at the worn areas of the high points. Small splashes of brick red patina appear at the lower right reverse. Softly luminous surfaces show a number of fine abrasions, but serious marks are nearly nonexistent. The obverse has a minor rim nick at 8 o'clock that may help identify the provenance. Only 17 pieces in Al Boka's census are identified in grades of VF25 or better. We assigned an overly conservative EAC grade of Fine 15 to this piece in 2009.
