Lot 151
1794 S-44 R1 PCGS graded AU55. Attractive glossy medium chocolate brown with slightly lighter frosty steel brown in protected areas. Sharply struck and nearly flawless showing only trivial ticks and just a hint of friction on the highest points of the devices. The only notable mark is a barely visible planchet lamination well-hidden in the hair below LIB (as struck). Scarce E-MDS, Breen state II, with an uncracked reverse. There is a fine but clearly defined double profile from the forelock down to the chin. A very nice cent. Our grade is EF45+. The attribution and Trollan provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 5 finer for the variety, 3 in 58, 2 in 63. Estimate Value $8,000 - UP
