Description
1794 HEAD OF 1794 CENT, AU58
CONDITION CENSUS S-43
EX FROSSARD-GARRETT
1794 S-43 R2 AU58 PCGS. Sharpness near mint state with
extremely fine porosity covering the planchet, the roughness so
fine it is barely visible even under 10x magnification. Just a
light touch of friction on the very highest points of the devices.
Frosty steel brown and chocolate. The only marks are a shallow nick
on the lower half of the neck and a shallow flake at the right top
of the E in CENT. Both marks appear to be a pre-striking planchet
flaws. Sharply struck with excellent eye appeal. MDS, Heck die
state 4, Breen state III. The die crack through the U in UNITED is
clear and a fine crack passes through the 17 into the hair. Tied
for CC#3 as AU50 in both the Noyes and Bland census lists, Noyes
photo #25060. This cataloger's EAC grade is AU50. A sharply
detailed, very attractive cent that comes with a long, unbroken
provenance that includes many prominent collectors over the last
140+ years. The attribution is noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
