1794 Large Cent Price List

EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

Lot 64 1794 S-38 R-5 F15. Sharpness VF30 with fine roughness under mostly glossy chocolate and olive brown toning. Lighter brown toning covers the highpoints and this cent has nice eye appeal in spite of the imperfect surfaces. No verdigris and the only mark is a minor rim bruise right of the lower part of the neck. MDS, Breen state II. Both of the lumps in the field under the cap are visible, the left lump weaker as always. Nicely struck except for the bottom of the date and the opposing legend at ES OF, which are weak. Graded VF35 net VF20 and tied for CC#6 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF35 net VG10 and tied for CC#16, his photo #25056. Comes with a nice provenance. $ 5,800 Ex; John Schreuder 4/1970 - Del Bland - Dr. Dane B. Nielsen - Dr. Robert J. Shalowitz - Dr. C. R. Chambers 11/1983 - Robert E.
