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

LOT 75 1794 S-64 R5- Missing Fraction Bar, PCGS XF Details, Edge Repaired . Glossy brown and light olive with smooth surfaces and great eye appeal for the grade. Moderately worn and surprisingly void of marks. A very light, barely visible rim bruise right of the fraction is the best identifying mark, and it is easily missed. There is an incipient planchet clip at the edge before the upper part of the neck (the folks at PCGS mistook this as “Damage,” but it is a minor mint error). LDS, Breen state V, Heck 5, with a strong radial die crack through the D in UNITED plus a lighter crack from the dentils to the right top of the M in AMERICA. Much of the D is filled with a small internal cud break and the center of the reverse is swollen causing weakness at ON and CEN. The Missing Fraction Bar feature is obvious. Our grade is VF20. 35708.98/57538493
