Description

1794 Head of 1794 Cent, VF35
S-65, Shielded Hair Variety

1794 1C Head of 1794 VF35 PCGS. S-65, B-51, R.1. A charming example of the "Shielded Hair" variety. The present piece confirms the nickname, since the hair beneath the cap is splendidly detailed. The obverse die is misaligned toward 1 o'clock, as usual for S-65, causing weakness of impression on the RT in LIBERTY and opposite on the ICA in AMERICA. The steel-gray and mahogany-brown surfaces are minimally abraded and pleasing. Our EAC grade VF25.(Registry values: P1)
