Lot 521
1794 S-43 R2. VF-35. Five points sharper but there is a tiny dig between the T & Y in LIBERTY and a collection of tiny planchet chips in the field before the forehead (natural planchet flaws that normally disappear when a cent is struck). Otherwise the surfaces are void of any notable marks or other defects and the eye appeal is quite nice. Glossy dark chocolate and steel with lighter brown toning in protected areas, especially on the obverse. LDS, Breen state V early. The die crack through the U in UNITED is strong and that letter has become distorted. Called EF40 net VF35 and tied for CC#13 in the Noyes census, his photo #29650.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
Ex Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:695.
