Lot 16
1794 S-24 R1. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. CAC Approved. Lustrous uniform medium steel brown and light chocolate. An extremely attractive cent, essentially flawless. The only marks, and they are insignificant, are a microscopic pinprick at the dentils left of the date, a tiny flake on the cheek close under the left edge of the eye, and a small planchet flake nestled between the E & R in LIBERTY (as struck). M-LDS, Breen state V. There are two light die cracks on the obverse, fine die rust in several places on both sides, and an irregular die line that connects the R & I in AMERICA. The puffy "Apple Cheek" feature is obvious. A beautiful cent that offers exceptional eye appeal. Just a light touch of friction on the highest points of the devices. Graded AU50 and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes census, his photo #36539. Bland has not seen this cent. Our grade is AU55 choice. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 1 finer in MS63 at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 35537) .
Estimated Value $15,000-UP.
