THE FINEST GRADED S-19B

1794 S-19b R4 Head of 1793, Edge of 1794, AU53 PCGS, CAC Approved. Glossy olive and dark steel brown with frosty lighter steel brown and tan faded down from mint color in protected areas. No spots, stains, or contact marks, just light friction on the devices and great eye appeal. A very nice example of the Head of 1793 type. The best identifying mark is a microscopic, very dull pinprick under the right foot of the T in LIBERTY. M-LDS, Heck die state 2, Breen state II early. The first wave under the cap is clear and the second wave down from the left bottom of the cap is just starting to appear. A short radial crack reaches into the field from a dentils between the M & E in AMERICA. This cent is plated in the 1923 Chapman reference on the cents of 1794, and it is the plate coin for the variety in the 1991 Noyes reference on the cents of 1793-1814. Graded EF45 net EF40 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21845. Bland says EF40 and tied for CC#1. This cataloger's EAC grade is EF40. Comes with a very nice provenance.
