Lot 14
1794 S-24 R1. PCGS graded AU-58. The "Apple Cheek" variety, so-called because Ms Liberty's cheeks appear to be especially full and rounded on this die. Attractive glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with a few microscopic specks of darker toning left of the bottom of the cap. Just a few trivial marks, including a couple tiny rim nicks right of the fraction and a small planchet flake on the upper right corner of the E in STATES. LDS, Breen state VI. The obverse is bisected by a fine die crack from right of the date to the rim over the L in LIBERTY, and the lower half of the neck and field over the date are covered with fine die rust. Graded AU50 and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes census, his photo #61011. Our grade is EF45. Another really beautiful 1794 cent in this outstanding collection that emphasized quality. The attribution and Paul Gerrie provenance are shown on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
