Lot 129
1794 S-32 R2 PCGS graded VF35. Glossy mix of light chocolate, olive brown, and reddish brown tones with traces of frosty tan in protected areas on the obverse. The surfaces are smooth and the only notable marks are a dull scratch on the lower part of the neck and a few tiny ticks on the neck near the hair. EDS, Breen state I, before any clashmarks or die cracks. Graded VF30 sharpness net VF25 by Noyes and finest of the EDS in his census, photo #21625. Bland says VF25. Our grade is VF25 as well. A nice example of the rare early die state in spite of the uneven toning, and it comes with an important provenance. The attribution and Trollan provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 5 finer for the variety. Estimate Value $3,000 - UP
