1794 1C S-50 Closed Wreath Young Head, BN MS (PCGS#35612)

September 2009 Pre-Long Beach Auction #54 - 9/09 Hawaii Collection

详细说明: Plated in Early American Cents and Penny Whimsy. Attractive glossy chocolate and steel brown. The planchet is smooth and hard, virtually free of contact marks. However, there is a rather deep struck-through bar in the field close over the pole and a large low spot that obliterates UNI in UNITED, both defects as struck. Otherwise this cent is fantastic. The grade of EF45 may be slightly optimistic from a wear standpoint, but the superior eye appeal excuses the couple extra points. LDS, Breen state III, with an arcing die crack through the tip of the bust, a die state Breen calls Extremely Rare. The obverse is plated in Early American Cents and Penny Whimsy. Called EF45 and second finest in the Noyes census, his photo #21270. Bland says EF45 as well but CC#3 behind a pair of very slightly finer examples. DWH #1763. Estimated Value $10,000-UP. Ex Henry C.
