1794

S-24 - S-26

LOT 29

1794 S-24 R1 F15 Five points sharper but the toning on the obverse may not be original. Glossy dark chocolate brown on the obverse, lighter brown and chocolate on the reverse. The surfaces are smooth and the only mark is a rim bruise right of the bottom of the neck. MDS, Breen state IV, with faint die cracks on the obverse and swelling in the center of the reverse but no die rust evident on the neck. The date and legends are strong except for the weakness on ONE CENT. $1,750

LOT 30

1794 S-25 R3 VF25+ Sharpness near VF35 but there is a scuff of a half dozen dull scratches or scrapes on the chin, jawline, and upper part of the neck plus a few tiny ones hidden in the hair under the earlobe. The strongest mark is on the chin but none of them break the attractive frosty medium chocolate brown and steel toning. Otherwise this cent is choice and the eye appeal remains excellent. The reverse looks like a choice EF40 with traces of frosty tan and light brown in protected areas. Sharply struck E-MDS, Breen state II, with a single set of die clashmarks on both sides and no cracks. Graded VF25 and tied for CC#9 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF30 net VF20 and tied for CC#10, his photo #33021. $6,500 Ex Jonathan Kern & Chris McCawley 9/1994-Robert C.
