EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS

LARGE CENTS

LOT 97 1794 S-18b R-4 Head of 93 G5. VG7 but there are several rim bumps and minor nicks on both sides. The most notable include a bruise above the cap, another right of the pole, rim nicks over ST, another dig along the edge below the left ribbon tail. Glossy dark chocolate brown and deep steel on smooth surfaces. E-MDS.

LOT 94 1793 S-1 R-4 AMERI. Chain Cent G4. VG sharpness but there are scattered pits on both sides, more so on the reverse, as well as light roughness covering the surfaces. The most notable of the pits is below D in UNITED containing old verdigris. The date is very weak but can just be made out in hand, and other than the E in CENT the legends are fully readable, including AMERI.

LOT 98 1794 S-19b R-4 Head of 93 F12. VF25 sharpness but there is light porosity covering both sides, a bit stronger on the reverse.

Deep grey and lighter frosty silvery pewter in some protected areas. Vine & Bars Edge device, with sharp details. MDS with few reverse die breaks through D in UNITED as well as R and CA in AMERICA.
