Lot 377
1794 S-64 R5- Missing Fraction Bar G4. Clipped Planchet. Several points sharper, particularly on the obverse, but covered with fine roughness in the fields and protected areas. No verdigris and the only notable mark is a light rim bruise left of the cap, but this cent lacks eye appeal. Slightly glossy chocolate brown and steel with slightly lighter steel brown toning on the devices. The date is clear but much of the legend on the reverse is unreadable and the Missing Fraction Bar feature is not visible. LDS, Breen state V, with a strong radial die crack through the D in UNITED into the wreath below and swelling in the center of the reverse. A curved planchet clip shows over TY in LIBERTY (as struck).
Estimated Value $300-UP.
