Lot 506
1794 S-24 R1. VF-30. Sharper by almost 10 points but there is some very light roughness around the date and lower curls with microscopic specks of greenish verdigris mixed in. The reverse fields also display traces of extremely faint roughness under strong magnification, but the eye appeal remains quite nice. There is a small pitmark on the rim over the end of the pole and tiny rim bruises at OF and the I in AMERICA. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate with hints of reddish chocolate in some of the protected areas. MDS, Breen state IV. The obverse die cracks are light but visible and swelling is starting to show at CENT. Removed from a PCGS slab graded AU50 (PCGS label included).
Estimated Value $3,000 - 5,000.
