Lot 38
1794 S-63 R2 Repunched Date. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. CAC Approved. Very attractive glossy uniform light to medium chocolate brown and steel. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected areas on both sides. No spots or stains, only a few light contact marks. The notable ones are a hairline scratch from the Y to the eye and a diagonal nick on the bust right of the 4, but neither mark is at all distracting and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. Sharply struck MDS Breen state II, with die clashmarks on both sides. The repunching on the date is clearly visible on all 4 digits. A beautiful example of this popular variety with the oddly placed date digits. Graded MS60 net AU55 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #35659. Bland says AU55 and tied for CC#2. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 35651) .
Estimated Value $35,000-UP.
