Lot 42
1794 S-66 R5. PCGS graded VF-30. CAC Approved. Very attractive glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. The surfaces are smooth and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The only marks, and they are faint, are a few very light horizontal hairline scratches inside the wreath around ONE. Nicely struck LDS, Breen state IV. The die crack along the pole is nearly as thick as the pole itself and the fine die crack from the forehead into the field before the face is present. Bold doubling can be seen on F-AM. A very nice example of this rare die variety. Graded VF25 net VF20 and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #38759. Our grade is F15+, very close to VF20. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 1 finer in VF35 at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 35657) .
Estimated Value $20,000-UP.
