Lot 40
1794 S-63 R2 Head of 1794 VF30. Attractive glossy light chocolate brown delicately woodgrained with lighter brown on both sides. No corrosion or verdigris. The obverse is choice but the reverse is covered with microscopic planchet striations or laminations that are visible under magnification. The best identifying marks, and they are trivial, are a small nick hidden in the hair left of the ear lobe and a tiny planchet void that connects the two leaves at the top of the wreath (as struck). Nicely struck EDS, Breen state I, before any die clashmarks. From our experience, the unclashed die state is considerably more scarce than the clashed version. (See lot #28, the 1793 S-13, for a discussion of the connection between the reverse of this S-63 and several varieties of the 1793 Liberty Cap Cent.). Estimate Value $4,500 - UP
