THE B.S.T. COLLECTION Two die pairings were used to strike the 1814 large cent, S-294 is identified by the Crosslet 4 in the date. This issue is so tough to find in nice enough grades that it was missing from the D. Brent Pogue Collection. We are pleased to present this extremely important 1814 large cent; suited for any serious cabinet of early copper or any SUPERB type set. For the date and type, this is a VERY CHOICE example and retains much ORIGINAL cartwheel luster, especially for a coin with the BN designation. Accents of olive and tan blend with rich chocolate brown, soft gold, violet, and tinges of apricot/rose. The devices are knife sharp on both sides, struck slightly off-center to 6:00 on both sides. Each of the details in the hair, face, stars, dimples, and wreath are very sharp and fully defined. The eye appeal is superb. The final issue of the "early" large cents, the second to last Sheldon-numbered die variety. These Classic head large cents, designed by John Reich were rarely saved at the time of issue, and most are found in lower grades. Even those graded Mint State do not display the type of lustrous surfaces that this one has. PCGS 9, NGC 6, CAC 1. This is NOT the coin that sold in May 2022 for $19,200. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $21,000 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $21,600. We do not doubt that this improbable near-GEM will see very strong bidding when it crosses the block. EAC collectors take note and do not let this CHOICE example get away! Cert.
