1794 S-64 R5- No Fraction Bar PCGS graded VF25. Glossy medium olive brown and steel blending to chocolate brown in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and the eye appeal of this is outstanding for the grade. The only notable mark is a dull diagonal nick in the field below the cap. LDS, Breen state V, with a strong die crack through the D in UNITED into the center of the reverse plus a fine radial die crack from the dentils to the right top of the M in AMERICA. Half of the inside of the D is filled with an internal cud break and the area inside the wreath is badly swollen causing most of ONE CENT to be unreadable. Otherwise the date and legends are strong. Graded F15 net F12 and tied for CC#22 in the Noyes census, his photo #25959. Our grade is F15. A very nice mid-grade example of this popular "Redbook" variety. The attribution and No Fraction Bar feature are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 7 finer: 1 in 35, 1 in 40, 1 in 45, 1 in 55, 1 in 58, 1 in 64, 1 in 65. PCGS #35708. Estimated Value $3,000 - UP
