Lot 170
1794 S-52 R6- PCGS Genuine VG Details Graffiti. The obverse is glossy medium brown and light chocolate while the reverse is a darker shade of olive brown on the devices and lighter chocolate in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth, void of any trace of corrosion or verdigris, but there are a few light scratches on the face into the field under TY plus a nick on the forehead and a planchet chip at the top of the C in CENT (as struck). Only the planchet chip is distracting and the overall eye appeal is decent for the grade. EDS, Breen state I, before the die crack on the obverse. The date is clear and the legends are complete except for ES-OF-AMER which are weak at best. Graded G6 by Del Bland. Our grade is VG7 sharpness net G5+. A wholly acceptable if imperfect example of this very rare variety, and it comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Trollan provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $2,500 - UP
