Lot 301 1794 S-60 R3. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown.Choice glossy medium chocolate brown and darker steel. Satiny mint frost shows through in the fields and protected areas, especially on the reverse, and this cent has outstanding eye appeal. The only notable marks are a puff of reddish brown toning (not carbon) on the cap, a microscopic planchet flake on the tip of the bust (as struck), and a pair of small planchet chips nestled between the U in UNITED and the adjacent ribbon end (as struck). M-LDS, Breen state IV, with die clashmarks on both sides and a fine die crack from the dentils into the hair left of the date. The reverse is rotated 45 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Graded AU55 net AU50 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #36873. Bland says AU55 and tied for CC#2 in his census. Our grade is AU55. Both sides of this cent are plated in the Frossard-Hays 1893 reference on the cents of 1794, and the reverse is plated in Dr. Sheldon's Penny Whimsy. A beautiful cent that comes with a very impressive provenance. The attribution and Nancy & Bryan Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
