Description
Choice About Uncirculated 1794 Cent
1794 AU 55. S-43, R.2. Nicknamed the "Short Bust" variety by Maris because of the truncated length of the rear bust. The characteristic die break above the A in STATES, the weakly impressed OF, the taller numerals in the date, and the distinct hair curls all establish the die variety of this coin. A die break that originates below the 9 and passes through the 7 and 1 to the lowest curl identifies this piece as a later die state. Although relatively common for the issue, Sheldon observes that this variety is difficult to locate without problems above the VF level. Soft medium brown toning overlays both sides of this example, although we note a few inconspicuous areas of darker toning scattered across the obverse. The surfaces and rims are remarkably clean and exhibit one abrasion above the E in STATES that we feel warrants mention. Both the obverse and the reverse are well centered and, while not complete in all areas, the denticles are sharp and readily evident throughout. A well detailed example of this early large cent that copper enthusiasts should welcome with strong bids.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 223M, PCGS# 1365, GSID# 717)
