1794

IMPORTANT S-52 RARITY

LOT 62 1794 S-52 R6- F12 Glossy medium brown and light olive. Probably very lightly cleaned long ago but the eye appeal is excellent for the grade. Looks smooth to the unaided eye but a glass reveals extremely fine granularity in the fields and protected areas. No verdigris and only minor marks including a planchet chip on the cheep, a few faint hairline scratches at LIBE, a minor rim bruise left of the cap, and another small rim bruise at the D in UNITED. EDS, Breen state I, with an uncracked obverse. Graded F12 and tied for CC#5 honors in the Bland census. Noyes says F15 net VG10 and tied for CC#9, his photo #20293. An important 1794 cent and it has a nice provenance. $16,500
