1794 Large Cent Price List

1794 LARGE CENTS FIXED PRICE LIST

Lot 118 1794 S-59 R-3 PCGS MS66RB. Highly lustrous mint red fading to light bluish steel brown, a quarter of the mellowed mint color remaining. No spots, contact marks, or friction, a fantastic gem in every respect! Satiny mint frost covers even the highest points of the design. A superb, pristine cent. The only flaws, if they can be called that, are some microscopic planchet chips that didn’t completely strike out around the date and near the dentils left of the date, all as struck. M-LDS, Heck die state 5, Breen die state V, with a clear die crack arcing through the fraction and adjacent A in AMERICA to the dentils over that C. Tied for finest known honors as MS65 in both census lists with the other “St. Oswald” example, although Noyes calls this one a “Gem” and the other one a slightly less desirable “Choice.” Certainly, one of the finest 1794 cents of any die variety. This is the Noyes plate coin for the variety, his photo #20825. 35640.66/13666801 $ 210,000 Ex; William Strickland Collection - Charles Winn - Rowland Winn (First Baron St. Oswald) - Rowland Winn (Second Baron St. Oswald) - Rowland George Winn (Third Baron St. Oswald) - Rowland Denys Guy Winn (Major the Lord St. Oswald) - Christie, Manson & Woods Ltd.
