Lot 44
1794 S-58 R3 PCGS graded AU53. Very attractive glossy medium brown and light olive. A choice cent, smooth and nearly void of marks. The only notable defect is a tiny planchet fissure on the rim over the right side of the Y in LIBERTY (as struck). Sharply struck E-MDS, Breen state II late. A fine die crack meanders from the dentils above the T in UNITED through NIT but does not extend to the adjacent U. Graded VF35 net VF30 and tied for CC#10 in the Noyes census, his photo #25027. Bland says VF30 and tied for CC#10 in his census. Our grade is VF30 Choice. A nice cent that comes with an equally nice provenance.
