1794 S-65 R1 NGC graded AU details, scratches, corroded. Matte dark olive and steel with a subtle overtone of greenish olive suggesting this cent was lost in soil for some time. The surfaces are covered with extremely fine roughness and there are a few small spots of verdigris or crud in the field before the face. The only contact marks are a several faint hairline scratches in the field under the cap. Nicely struck with sharp details, but the dull surfaces certainly detract from the eye appeal. It appears this cent would benefit from a light brushing. M-LDS, Breen state VI. Our grade is EF40 sharpness net F15.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
