1794 1C Head of 1794, BN MS (PCGS#901374)

November 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1794 Liberty Cap Cent. S-55. Rarity-2. Head of 1794. AU-53 (PCGS). This is an exceptionally smooth and well defined example of an otherwise plentiful die marriage for the 1794 Liberty Cap cent. The obverse is hard and tight with an even endowment of warm olive-brown patina. The reverse is also predominantly hard with dominant olive-brown patina, although we do note a few swirls of light crimson surface scale around the border from 10 to 3 o'clock, as well as around the letters in the word ONE. The latter side is free of significant marks, however, and the obverse has just a few light ones on Liberty's forehead, cheek and neck, wispy pin scratch from the letter E in LIBERTY to the back of Liberty's chin. The strike is well centered on both sides with sharp to full detail throughout. Although Sheldon-55 is a readily obtainable variety in an absolute sense, the census drops off quickly to VF grades (by EAC standards). The present example is undoubtedly among the finer known, and it is certainly the nicest S-55 cent that we have brought to auction in recent memory. Noyes Die State B/A. PCGS# 901374. NGC ID: 223M.
