详细说明

Lot 42 1794 S-56 R3 PCGS graded XF40.The so-called "Office Boy Reverse" variety due to the rather haphazard placement of the letters in the reverse legends. Frosty chocolate brown and olive with lighter steel brown toning in protected areas on the reverse. Darker steel toning shows on some of the highpoints on the reverse. No corrosion or verdigris, but there are numerous tiny planchet chips on both sides. The strike was a bit uneven, which is typical for the variety, with relative weakness at the top of the obverse and bottom of the reverse. UNI and the denominator are quite weak while the date and most of the legends are strong. A pair of small chips in the field off the lower lip can help identify this cent. EDS, Breen state I. The repunching at the bottom of the A in STATES is clear and the die clashmarks are light. Our grade is VF25.The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 6 finer: 2 in 45, 2 in 55, 1 in 62, 1 in 64. PCGS #35630.Estimated Value $4,000 - UP Ex Spinks (New York) 9/1982:248-Del Bland 3/1983-Jack H. Robinson-Wesley A.
