1794 HEAD OF 1794 CENT, MS65 RED AND BROWN
THE FINEST SHELDON-49
EX OSWALD
1794 S-49 R2 MS65 Red & Brown PCGS, CAC Approved. Superb
lustrous mint red fading to steel brown with mellowed mint color
showing in the fields and protected areas on both sides. The
surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal of this cent is spectacular.
The only marks are an irregular nick in the field under the cap, a
microscopic planchet flake over the end of the nose, and a tiny
tick or punch on the leaf off the left top of the O in ONE. There
are microscopic planchet flakes around UNITED (as struck) but the
remainder of the planchet is smooth. E-MDS, Heck die state 2, Breen
state I, with fine die clashmarks but no cracks. This is the plate
coin for the variety in the 1991 Noyes reference and the obverse is
plated in the 1979 Morley grading guide for 1794 cents. Graded MS65
Choice and finest known by 15 points in the Noyes census, his photo
#21318. Graded MS62 and finest in the Bland census by 12 points.
This cataloger's EAC grade is MS65. Another spectacular cent from
the "St. Oswald" group of mint state cents. The attribution is
noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label. PCGS population 1; none finer.
