FRED BORCHERDT’S HALL OF FAME COLLECTION 1793-1814 CENTS

1794 S-42 R4 Head of 1794 F15+ . Glossy olive brown and chocolate with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. A sharp, attractive cent, but there are three defects that detract from an otherwise very nice piece. Those defects are an obvious scratch on the lower part of the neck, another less obvious one in the field at the throat, and a small patch of corrosion at CA in AMERICA. LDS, Breen state II, Heck state 3, with die clashmarks. Graded VF30 net F15 and tied for CC#15 in the Noyes census, his photo #26063.

Ex Denis W. Loring 4/1979-Fred H. Borcherdt Collection

1794 S-43 R2 Head of 1794 VF20 . Glossy light brown blending to medium brown in protected areas. The details are sharper but there are too many small nicks on the obverse for the higher grade. A light rim bruise at the end of the pole is a good identifying mark. EDS, Breen state I, Heck 1, with uncracked dies. A rare die state in our opinion. Struck with the reverse rotated 30 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation.
