Lot 16
1794 S-30 R1+ PCGS AU Detail Environmental Damage. Rather glossy dark olive brown with lighter brown and tan toning on the highpoints of the obverse. The reverse is frosty and this cent has excellent eye appeal. However a glass reveals very fine roughness covering all but the obverse highpoints. The roughness is strongest under the bust but there is no verdigris and no contact marks. Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I, with strong die clashmarks at the upper junction of the cap and hair. Graded EF45 net VF25 by Noyes, his photo #59825. Our grade is EF45+ sharpness net VF35. A sharply detailed cent that comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Howard Newcomb provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #35555. Estimated Value $3,500 - UP
