- Lot 32 1794 S-46 R3 PCGS graded AU53.Frosty light olive and steel brown with traces of satiny mint luster remaining visible in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The surfaces are smooth, free of any hint of corrosion or verdigris, and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only defects are some nicks on the cheek and neck, the most notable one being a diagonal nick on the jaw over the throat. Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I, with a single die crack on the obverse reaching from the dentils right of the date up through the bust and neck into the hair right of the cap.
