Description
1794 S-38, B-25 Cent, XF45
The Third Finest Known
Second Finest in Collectors' Hands
1794 1C Head of 1794 XF45 NGC. S-38, B-25, R.5. Our EAC Grade
VF30. Ex: Mervis Collection. Breen Die State II. Both die chips
in the left obverse field are plain and obvious. Bill Noyes rates
the surfaces of this lovely cent as Average, and we concur with his
assessment. Both sides are pleasing light brown, with wisps of
light blue toning on the high points. The sharpness is slightly
finer with faint hairlines on the obverse, mostly through the cap
and over the ear. Bland and Noyes both carry this example as the
third finest known 1794 S-38 cent. While we grade the piece VF30
rather than VF35 as they do, the relative ranks in the census
remains unchanged. The top six in Bland's census grade 55, 45, 35,
25, 25, 20, and the top six in the Noyes list grade 55, 45, 35, 25,
20, 20. With the second finest example in the ANS Collection, this
example is the second best available to collectors.Ex: RARCOA (1974); Gordon J. Wrubel (3/1976); Denis W. Loring (5/7/1983); Jack H. Robinson (1/23/1988); J.R. Frankenfield (Superior, 2/2001), lot 234; W.M. Wadlington (2004); Dan Holmes (3/17/2008); Chris Victor-McCawley; Walter J. Husak.
