Description
1794 HEAD OF 1794 CENT, MS66 RED AND BROWN
THE FINEST SHELDON-59
EX OSWALD-SHELDON-NAFTZGER
1794 S-59 R3 MS66 Red & Brown PCGS. Highly lustrous mint red
fading to light bluish steel brown, about 25% of the mellowed mint
color remaining. A fantastic gem in every respect! No spots,
contact marks, or friction. Satiny mint frost covers even the
highest points of the design. A superb, pristine cent. The only
flaws, if they can be called that, are some microscopic planchet
chips that didn't completely strike out around the date and near
the dentils left of the date, all as struck. M-LDS, Heck die state
5, Breen die state V, with a clear die crack arcing through the
fraction and adjacent A in AMERICA to the dentils over that C. Tied
for finest known honors as MS65 in both census lists with the other
"St. Oswald" example, although Noyes calls this one a "Gem" and the
other one a slightly less desirable "Choice." This cataloger's EAC
grade is MS65+. Certainly, one of the finest 1794 cents of any die
variety. This is the Noyes plate coin for the variety, his photo
#20825. The attribution and Dan Holmes Collection provenance are
noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label. PCGS population 1; none finer.
