Description
1794 HEAD OF 1794 CENT, MS64 BROWN
SUPERB SHELDON-28
1794 S-28 R2 MS64 Brown PCGS. Lustrous medium steel brown
and light chocolate with hints of faded mint color along the left
edge of the cap. The surfaces are satiny, the strike is very sharp,
and this cent has fabulous eye appeal. The best identifying marks
are a pair of small spots of slightly darker brown toning in the
field off the chin plus a few small puffs of reddish brown toning
at the denominator and RICA. MDS, Heck die state 6, Breen state VI,
with fine die cracks on the obverse and die clashmarks on the
reverse. Graded MS60 and tied for CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes
says MS60 and CC#3, his photo #25248. This cataloger's EAC grade is
MS60. A choice, very attractive 1794 cent. (Note: The provenance
shown for this cent in the Breen encyclopedia is incorrect. This is
not the coin that was sold by Doug Bird to Chris McCawley in
1/1995. That was a slightly lower grade piece.) The attribution and
Doug Bird Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS
