Lot 406
1794 C-2a R2+ Small Edge Letter. PCGS graded AU-53. Attractive glossy light chocolate and medium brown, the two colors very delicately woodgrained on the obverse. The surfaces are smooth and show only a few small contact marks. The notable ones are a dull nick high on the cheek, two very thin nicks or planchet chips left of the eye, a few small rim nicks under the 179, and a light diagonal hairline scratch through the E in CENT. Rare EDS, Manley state 1.0, before any die clashmarks. The second S in STATES is quite weak, the result of a clog in the die. Our grade is VF35. The attribution and Widok Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 3 finer: 1 in 55, 2 in 62. (PCGS # 35024) Value $10,000 - UP
