1794 S-21 R3 PCGS graded MS62 Brown.
1794 S-21 R3. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. Clipped Planchet. Sharpness closer to mint state and choice except for a small spot of very fine roughness in the field well above the end of the pole. Otherwise this cent is virtually flawless with only very light friction on the highest points of the design. Lustrous reddish steel brown and chocolate. Outstanding eye appeal in spite of the small spot. LDS, Breen state V, with a fine die crack from the rim to the second curl from the bottom in addition to the earlier die cracks at LIB. A small planchet clip affects the dentils at the bust tip and the opposing ones at F-A, as struck. Called AU50 and tied for CC#6 in the Bland census. Noyes says AU50 net EF45 and tied for CC#5, his photo #35888. Our grade is AU50+. PCGS Population 1; One finer in MS64 at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2696.
Estimated Value $20,000-UP.
