Description
1794 S-44, B-33 Cent, AU55 ★
The Norweb Specimen
1794 1C Head of 1794 AU55 ★ NGC. S-44, B-33, R.1. Our EAC Grade
XF40. Ex: Mervis Collection. Breen Die State I. The obverse is
cracked through the date and along the edge of the cap. No clash
marks are noted on the reverse of this earliest die state. A
pleasing chocolate-brown example with smooth surfaces that show
only trivial circulation marks on each side. This common variety
has a surprisingly low condition census. A single Mint State coin
is known, followed by five coins grading XF45 and 10 XF40 pieces
according to Noyes. Bland also lists a single Mint State coin,
followed by three he grades AU50 and eight that he calls XF45.
Noyes records this coin from the Norweb Collection as the seventh
finest known to him, and Bland grades this piece XF45 and tied for
fifth finest known.Ex: A.H. Baldwin & Sons, Ltd. (London, 4/14/1960); Mrs. R. Henry Norweb (Bowers and Merena, 11/1988), lot 2713; Anthony J. Terranova (1/30/1989); Daniel W. Holmes, Jr. (Goldberg Coins, 9/2009), lot 71; Walter J. Husak; Greg Hannigan.
