EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LOT 122 1794 S-28 R2 F15+ . At least 5 points sharper but the toning is rather dark and there are traces of microscopic verdigris or crud in protected areas, particularly on the reverse. Mostly glossy dark olive brown with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. The only marks are a dull, light nick just left of the bottom of the cap and a faint scratch hidden in the toning just right of the Y in LIBERTY. Scarce EDS, Breen state I, with die clashmarks on the reverse. The date and legends are all bold. This cent has great eye appeal for the grade in spite of the slightly imperfect surfaces. Graded VF25 net F15 and tied for CC#37 in the Noyes census, his photo #35837.
