Lot 206
1814 S-295 R1 Plain 4. PCGS graded AU-55. Very attractive frosty bluish steel and chocolate brown. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is quite nice, but both sides display some fine brushlines and fresh fingerprints that could be removed easily to improve the overall look of this cent. A tiny tick on the upright of the L in LIBERTY and a microscopic tick over the left side of the 8 are the best identifying marks. E-MDS, Breen state IV. The die clashmark along the front edge of the nose remains clear giving a "double profile" look to Ms. Liberty, and there is a fine die crack that arcs through star 11 and the lowest curl to the top of the 8 where it fades out. Called AU55 net EF45 in the Noyes census, his photo #20432. Our grade is About Uncirculated-55. PCGS population 1 with 3 finer.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
