1794 S-46 R3 MS60.
1794 S-46 R3. MS-60. Breen Plate Coin. Choice glossy medium steel brown with underlying frosty light steel brown and hints of very faded mint red in a few protected areas. There are a few very tiny ticks on the cheek, a trail of light nicks from the chin down to the pole near the neck, and a nick on the shoulder. The only marks on the reverse are some tiny planchet chips, as struck, around ICA. EDS, Breen state I. A fine die crack extends from the rim through the bust and across the neck but fades out as it reaches the hair. A sharp, very attractive cent. Listed as MS60 choice and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #21225. Bland says MS60 as well and CC#2 behind a slightly finer example. This is the plate coin used in the Breen book, although the caption under that photo incorrectly identifies it as the Adams:41 example. DWH #0057.
Estimated Value $20,000-UP.
