1794 S-59 R3- PCGS graded MS66 Red & Brown.
1794 S-59 R3-. PCGS graded MS-66 Red & Brown. Noyes Plate Coin. A fantastic gem in all respects! Highly lustrous mint red fading to light bluish steel brown, about 20% of the mint color remaining. No spots, stains, contact marks, or friction. Satiny mint frost covers even the highest points of the design. The only flaws, if they can be called that, are some microscopic planchet chips that didn’t completely strike out around the date and near the dentils left of the date, all as struck. M-LDS, Breen die state V, with a clear die crack arcing through the fraction and adjacent A in AMERICA to the dentils over that C. Tied for finest known honors as MS65 in both census lists with the other "Oswald" example, although Noyes calls this one a "gem" and the other one a slightly less desirable "choice." Our grade is MS65+. Certainly one of the finest 1794 cents of any die variety. This is the Noyes plate coin for the variety, his photo #20825. PCGS Population 1; The only one graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2819.
Estimated Value $100,000-UP.
