Lot 6
1794 S-20 R4 Head of 1793, Edge of 1794 PCGS Fine Detail Graffiti. Very attractive glossy light to medium brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are smooth and this cent has great eye appeal, especially for a Head of 1793 variety. The only notable marks are two faint hairline scratches hidden in the toning on the cap, a tiny rim bruise left of the lower curls, and a small rim nick just left of the fraction. The claim of "graffiti" made by the folks at PCGS seems out of line. The date is bold and the legends are complete and clear. The edge letters are complete and quite strong. MDS, Breen state II, with a very subtle wave in the field from the dentils to the chin. This example was discovered three years ago and has not been seen by Bland or Noyes. Our grade is F12. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #35522. Estimated Value $7,000 - UP
