Description

Sharply Struck AU 1794 Large Cent

1794 AU 53 PCGS. S-43, High R.2. An incredibly attractive, high grade example, known as the "Weak OF" variety. Other than OF, all the other design elements are very sharply struck with the finely detailed hair curls being the focal point of the obverse. Tobacco-brown color overall with a small spot at the top of the hair and faint trace of a fingerprint in the right obverse field. A small abrasion can also be made out on the highpoint of Liberty's cheek by way of identification. EAC specialists will undoubtedly net grade this piece several points lower because of the above mentioned defects, but for the person who wishes a high grade, well struck 1794 cent this lovely piece will certainly be a pleasing addition to a type or date collection.
