Description

1794 S-48 Cent, VG8
The Famous Starred Reverse

1794 1C Starred Reverse, S-48, B-38, High R.4, VG8 PCGS. While both sides of this piece exhibit moderate surface roughness, the overall appearance is quite acceptable, with PCGS assigning a numerical grade rather than the details grade alternative. This piece blends tan, light brown, and steel with splashes of mahogany. Both sides are complete with a full date and LIBERTY on the obverse and mostly legible reverse lettering. The reverse border is nearly complete with most of the stars visible between the dentils. Nearly 100 examples have been identified in the 145 years since the Chapman Brothers discovered this famous variety.
From The Schwenk Family 100 Greatest Coins Collection.
