Description

1794 S-65, B-51 Cent, AU50
Late Die State
Near Census Level

1794 1C Head of 1794 AU50 PCGS. CAC. S-65, B-51, R.1. Breen Die State IX. This is the latest die state recorded in the Breen reverse, and both dies have extensive cracks. That through the final S is heavy from the border to the top of the E in ONE and continues to the T in CENT. The famous Shielded Hair variety, so-called as the left obverse border is heavy and protected the hair strands from wear.

Housed in a green-label PCGS holder, this splendid cent is finer than most survivors. Our EAC grade places this piece among the top 10 known examples. The surfaces are smooth and mark-free dark olive-brown with a few splashes of lighter tan. Our EAC grade XF40.
