Lot 56
1794 S-70 R3+ Head of 1795 PCGS XF Detail Cleaned. Very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate. The surfaces are smooth, mint frost shows in protected areas, and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The toning looks original and we see no reason to believe this cent ever was "Cleaned" as claimed by PCGS. The only mark is an old scratch on the top of the cap. Nicely struck LDS, Breen state IV. The die crack at TY is strong reaching down into the cheek where it fades away, and the die clashmarks on the reverse are clear. Our grade is VF30. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #35693. Estimated Value $3,500 - UP
