Lot 262
1794 S-60 R3 NCS/NGC VG Details Corroded. Rotated Reverse. Slightly glossy dark steel brown and chocolate with lighter steel brown toning on the devices. The surfaces are covered with fine roughness but no verdigris, and the only mark is a pit in the field close below the chin. The date is nearly worn smooth showing only parts of a few numerals, and no more than half of the legends remain easily readable. What makes this cent special is the rotated dies. The reverse is rotated 70 degrees CW relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. While lesser rotations are known for this variety, none of those is more than 45 degrees. Our grade is net Fair-2. The attribution is shown on the NCS label. A piece for the specialist.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
