Lot 501
1794 S-22 R1 PCGS graded AU55. Frosty steel and chocolate brown with traces of mint luster showing in protected areas. Essentially a flawless cent with light wear on the highpoints. The best identifying mark is a small diagonal nick on the end of the chin, but it certainly does not catch your eye. LDS, Breen state VIII, with flowlined fields on both sides and all the die cracks and "Mounds" described by Breen. A very nice cent. Graded EF40 and tied for CC#10 in the Noyes census, his photo #62283. Our grade is EF40+ Choice. The attribution and Alfonso Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 7 finer. Estimated Value $8,000 - UP
