1794 S-31 R1. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. CAC Approved. Choice lustrous medium brown and light chocolate. Satiny mint frost covers all but the highest points of the devices and the eye appeal is outstanding. The only notable marks, and they are barely visible, are a small nick at the top of the outer lump left of the lower curls and a faint spot of slightly darker brown toning at the left top of the E in STATES. MDS, Breen state II, with very faint clashmarks on the reverse and fine radial die flowlines near the dentils on both sides. Both of the chips in the field behind the lower curls are clear. The reverse of this cent is plated in Early American Cents and Penny Whimsy. Another truly beautiful 1794 cent. Graded MS60 net AU55 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #26934. Bland says MS60 and tied for CC#4. Our grade is AU58+, very close to MS60. The attribution and Naftzger-Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 35558) .
Estimated Value $35,000-UP.
