1794 S-32 R2+ AU50.
1794 S-32 R2+. AU-50. Breen and Chapman Plate Coin. Sharpness very close to mint state but there is a patch of extremely fine roughness under TATE into the leaves below with smaller spots of similar roughness at ER and over the second A in AMERICA plus tiny ones at ITE in UNITED. Otherwise the planchet is smooth and the surfaces are choice. Very attractive glossy light steel brown and chocolate with frosty lighter brown toning in protected areas and reddish chocolate toning covering the few areas of microscopic roughness on the reverse. M-LDS, Breen state IV. The die crack through the first S in STATES extends strongly into the wreath and there are multiple sets of die clashmarks on the reverse. Very strongly struck on the left sides but a bit weaker on the right sides, as usual. Called MS60 net AU50 and tied for CC#4 in the Bland census. Noyes says AU55 net EF45 and tied for CC#6, his photo #32039. This is the Breen plate coin for the variety. Both sides also are plated in Chapman and the obverse is plated in the Morley grading book for 1794 cents. Comes with an impressive provenance. Removed from a PCGS holder graded AU-55 tag included. Pop 1; Onr finer MS-64 at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2700.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
