Lot 128
1794 S-31 R1 F15. Sharpness VF30 but there are several rim bruises on both sides, the strongest of these over ST and S-O at the top of the reverse. Otherwise the only notable mark is a diagonal nick on the throat. The planchet is smooth and the color is a very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate with traces of darker steel brown on the highpoints of the devices. This cent has nice eye appeal in spite of the obvious contact marks. MDS, Breen state II, with no visible die clashmarks. The edge lettering is blundered and reads "ONE HUNDRED A DOLLAR". This cent is plated on page 12 in the 1979 Tom Morley book on grading 1794 cents where it represents the F15 grade for the S-31 die variety. Noyes photo #59902. Estimate Value $1,750 - UP
