Lot 507
1794 S-29 R2 PCGS graded VF35. Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Underlying mint frost shows in protected areas on the reverse and this cent has outstanding eye appeal. Smooth and essentially flawless, just lightly worn. A microscopic chip on the bust over the right side of the 4 can help identify this piece, but it is barely visible. LDS, Breen state IV, with all the fine die cracks and swelling he describes. Graded VF25 and tied for CC#22 in the Noyes census, his photo #61570. Our grade is VF25 Choice. The attribution and Alfonso Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 11 finer. Estimated Value $4,000 - UP
