1794 S-39 R6 VF35+.
1794 S-39 R6. VF-35 Plus. Choice glossy light to medium brown. Sharpness close to EF40 but there are some small, shallow planchet chips, as struck, near the dentils on the lower two-thirds of the obverse. The only contact marks are a tiny nick in the middle of the neck and a few tiny, very light rim nicks or bumps on the upper portion of the obverse. None of these defects is significant and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. The reverse is choice and easily grades a full EF40. MDS, Breen state II, with an arcing die crack at UN but no swelling in the center of the reverse. Bland calls this piece EF40 and tied for CC#2. Noyes says VF35 and third finest, his photo #20086. The finest known piece is impounded in the ANS Museum, which leaves only one other example equal to (or slightly finer depending on the census list used) the piece offered here. DWH #0046.
Estimated Value $30,000-UP.
