Lot 243
1794 S-19b R4 Head of 1793 with Edge Device of 1794 G6. Very slightly sharper, especially on the reverse, but there are some old, light scratches hidden in the toning inside the wreath. Otherwise the planchet is smooth and displays only a few trivial marks, including a thin planchet lamination from the rim through the L in LIBERTY to the top of the cap where it fades away. Attractive glossy chocolate brown and steel mixed with some lighter brown toning, mostly on the obverse. LDS, Breen state II, with obvious swelling in the field under the cap. The bottom edge of the date is starting to wear into the rim and a few letters of the legends are weak, but the eye appeal of this cent is nice for the grade (especially for a Head of 1793).
Estimated Value $800-UP.
