1814 S-294 R1 Crosslet 4. AU-58. Turban Head. Choice lustrous light golden brown with chocolate brown toning on the highpoints, a color that is much lighter than normally found on the cents of this year. The only mark of any kind is a small splash of reddish chocolate brown toning on star 12. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is outstanding in every respect. Just the lightest touch of friction on the highest points from mint state. M-LDS, with die clashmarks on both sides and radial die flowlines covering the fields. DWH #3408.
Estimated Value $8,000-UP.
