Lot 508
1794 S-30 R1 NGC graded XF40. Frosty dark steel and olive brown. Smooth and essentially flawless, just darker than you like to see for a cent that is this sharp. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a small spot of fine carbon under ED in UNITED and a tiny chip out of the rim over the left side of the O in OF. MDS, Breen state II, with die clashmarks on both sides. The date is bold and the legends are strong. Our grade is VF20+, close to VF25. The attribution and Alfonso Collection provenance are noted on the NGC label. NGC population 2; 6 finer. Estimated Value $2,000 - UP
Ex Thomas D. Reynolds 1/1990-Phillip W. Clover, Heritage Auctions 9/6/2012:3033-Chris McCawley 5/2013-Lou Alfonso Collection.
