Lot 455
1814 S-294 R1 Crosslet 4 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Choice lustrous medium chocolate brown and steel with a subtle hint of lighter reddish chocolate brown toning in the field before the eye. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and it has outstanding eye appeal. Sharply struck MDS, Breen state II, showing die clashmarks on both sides. Struck slightly off center to K-6 leaving some of the dentils off the planchet but all of the devices are complete. A beautiful Classic Head cent; essentially flawless with just a faint hint of rub on the very highest points of the devices. Our grade is AU58+ Choice, very close to mint state, and it has solid mint state eye appeal. PCGS population 4; 1 finer in 63+ for the variety. A great type coin. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $11,000 - UP
