Lot 294
1814 S-294 R1 Crosslet 4 PCGS graded AU58, CAC Approved. Frosty chocolate brown with slightly lighter steel brown toning in the protected areas. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and protected areas on both sides. This cent offers mint state eye appeal in spite of a hint of rub on the highest points of the devices. A tiny nick on a dentil over the right top of the N in UNITED is the only notable mark, and it is barely visible under magnification. Nicely struck MDS, Breen state II, with light die clashmarks on both sides. Called AU55 and tied for CC#11 in the Noyes census, his photo #38432. Our grade is AU55 as well. The attribution and Gerrie-Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 7 finer for the variety. PCGS #36520. Estimate Value $5,000 - UP
