EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LOT 207 1794 S-63 R2 Repunched 4, PCGS XF Detail, Cleaned. Attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate brown delicately woodgrained with lighter brown on both sides. No corrosion or verdigris but the reverse is covered with microscopic planchet striations or laminations, as struck. The best identifying marks, and they are trivial, are a nick hidden in the hair left of the ear lobe, a tiny tick at the bottom of the eye, 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. The repunching on the 4 is sharp. The coin does not appear to have been cleaned. Our grade is VF25+. The attribution and Husak Neiswinter provenance are noted on the PCGS label. 35651.92/37490448

LOT 209 1794 S-64 R5- Missing Fraction Bar VG8. Sharpness F15 but there is a dull dent on the E in CENT that caused a subtle bulge in the hair left of the cheek. The planchet is covered with very fine roughness under glossy dark chocolate brown toning with lighter brown on the highpoints. No verdigris but there are faint hairline scratches hidden in the toning on both sides. Late die state, Breen V, with a strong die crack through the D in UNITED and a fine die crack from the dentils to the right side of the M in AMERICA. The date is clear as is most of the legend. The Missing Fraction Bar feature is visible but not strong (the fraction is always relatively weak due to excessive die polishing that removed the bar).
