LATE STATE S-33 “WHEELSPOKE” RARITY

LOT 40

1794 S-33 R6 AG3 A few points sharper, especially outside the wreath where the details are at least VG8, but there are defects. The rim on the obverse has been flattened, probably in an attempt to remove rim nicks and bruises, and there are numerous light scratches on both sides (all blended into the attractive glossy medium brown and chocolate toning). In addition there is an obvious nick or planchet chip at the top of the head. On the positive side the details outside the wreath are strong and the date is complete and easily readable. Late die state, Breen state VI, with six strong “Wheelspoke” cracks on the reverse and a heavily swollen central area that nearly obliterates the wreath and ONE CENT. Far from perfect but the all-important reverse is quite decent, especially at this grade level. Graded net AG3 by Noyes, his photo #27240. $9,500
