EARLY AMERICAN COPPER SOCIETY AUCTION 2025

LOT 127 1794 S-32 R2 F12 . Glossy steel brown blending to olive brown in protected areas. Looks perfectly smooth but a glass reveals extremely fine roughness in the fields and protected areas. No verdigris or notable marks, and the eye appeal is quite nice for the grade. The best identifying mark, and it is trivial, is a thin nick at the dentils over the right side of the second A in AMERICA. E-MDS with die clashmarks on the reverse and a radial die crack through the first S in STATES. Struck with the reverse rotated 15 degrees CCW.

LOT 125 1794 S-31 R-1 PCGS Mint Error VF35 Incomplete Edge Detail . Slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. The planchet is covered with uniform microscopic granularity on all bu thte highpoints, which are smooth. No marks or verdigris, and the eye appeal is decent. The edge lettering is blundered and reads “ONE HUNA DOLLAR.” The PCGS label properly identiies this as a “Mint Error” with “Incomplete Edge Detail.” A neat cent, and it comes with an important provenance. Our grade is VF25+ sharpness net VF20. E901374.35/21197411

LOT 128 1794 S-33 R-6 Wheelspoke Rev NGC Good Details (Repaired) . Glossy ruddy chocolate and deep steel browns, near VG sharpness but heavily smoothed obverse surfaces. Porosity still remains in the protected areas of the obverse and the reverse is heavily corroded. Sharp enough details to identify at least Breen Die State IV, though not much beyond that. Noyes grade this G6 net FR2 and CC#30, his photo #61965. Our grade is G6 net FR2. The variety and Exman provenance are noted on the NGC label. 3809157-001

LOT 126 1794 S-31 R1 VF25 . Sharpness VF30 but there is a collection of pre-striking planchet chips at ITED that remain visible thanks to the usual weak strike in that area (opposite the cap). The only other defects are a small patch of shallow verdigris just right of the base of the 4 and a small planchet flake right of the base of the Y in LIBERTY (as struck). Otherwise this cent is quite nice with sharp details and excellent eye appeal. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with frosty lighter steel brown toning covering the right side of the reverse. MDS, Breen state II. The raised vertical lumps or “chips” in the field under the cap are clear. The date is bold and the legends are strong except for the aforementioned strike weakness at ITE. Struck with the reverse rotated 15 degrees CCW. Comes with a nice provenance.

Noyes grade this VF20 net VG7- and TCC#10-13, his photo #36878.
