A truly MAJESTIC S-31 boasting one of the greatest pedigrees of all of American Numismatics, Louis E. Eliasberg! A sharply struck and ultra high end CHOICE 1794 large cent. One of the FINEST KNOWN examples of this die marriage, it serves as the Plate Coin for Walter Breen's Encyclopedia of Early United States Cents. Very lustrous medium milk chocolate brown with golden-auburn accents and traces of original mint red that clings to the protected areas of the devices. Free of any serious post mint issues, the only "issues" are some minor planchet issues, natural to the manufacture of these early coppers. A few minor clash marks are seen on the reverse, typical of the die state (Breen's Die State 1). The die chips below the cap and off Liberty's tresses are prominent and easily identify this wonderful early cent's die marriage. Every detail is crisply and wonderfully defined, and the eye appeal is superior to the vast majority of this important early type! PCGS 25, NGC 0, CAC 4. PCGS has graded just three in MS63+ BN, and this date is RARE any finer, as to be expected. This is an amazing type coin that, boasting the Eliasberg pedigree, is one of the great examples extant. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $47,500. Examples of such high caliber usually only appear in auction when specialized collections come to market. This is a very important opportunity to acquire a superb type coin and worthy of a top tier type set! Cert. Number 39493097 PCGS # 901374
