Description
1794 HEAD OF 1794 CENT, MS63 BROWN
CONDITION CENSUS S-32
EX NAFTZGER
1794 S-32 R2 MS63 Brown PCGS. Lustrous medium brown and
light chocolate with traces of mint red remaining on both sides. A
beautiful cent, choice except for some tiny pre-striking planchet
chips along the right edge of both sides. The dies were not in
perfect axial alignment when striking this variety (the die faces
were not perfectly parallel). All the better examples of the
variety show similar chipping and some strike weakness in those
same areas as a result. Conversely the left sides are quite boldly
struck. The notable marks are a dull nick in the field at the
throat, another on the nostril, a small but relatively deep
planchet chip near the dentils before the throat, and a similar
chip just right of the first A in AMERICA. E-MDS, Heck die state 3,
Breen state II. There is a strong radial die crack through the
first S in STATES into the leaves below and die clashmarks on both
sides, but the cud break over LI in LIBERTY has not formed. The
reverse is rotated 35 degrees CCW from the normal head-to-foot die
orientation. Graded AU55 Choice and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his
photo #20050. Bland says AU55 and CC#3 in his census. This
cataloger's EAC grade is AU58, very close to mint state with just a
hint of rub on the highest points of the hair. This is the plate
coin for the variety in the 1991 Noyes reference. The attribution
and Naftzger-Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield
label. PCGS population 1; 2 finer: 1 in 64+, 1 in 66.
