***Auction Highlight*** 1794 Liberty Cap S-55 Flowing Hair large cent 1c Graded xf details BY USCG. 0 1794 1C Head of 1794, S-55, B-47, R.2, XF Details, Had the example at hand been a straight xf40 it would be tied for 5th finest, as only 4 coins have ever graded higher than xf40 in the s-55. As is with xf details, I would put it at 7th to 8th finest. Variety Equivalents: Maris 9, Frossard 5.3, Doughty 29, Hays 13, Chapman 44. It is the Obverse 26: 7 Leans Right. The 7 leans sharply to the right on this obverse, and its tail nearly touches a border dentil. There is wide spacing between the top three hair locks. This obverse is found on S-54, S-55, and S-56. The Reverse is Reverse Y: A in STATES High, Leans Left. Sometimes called the Office Boy reverse, for the rather amateurish appearance of the reverse. The letters TED are each successively higher, the A in STATES is high, leans left, and too close to the first T, the M in AMERICA leans to the right, and that entire word is poorly spaced. If Robert Scot engraved this die, he must have exceeded his daily rum allotment. This reverse is found only on S-55. It is the Die State II: Both dies have been polished to remove the clash marks that appeared in earlier die states, although remnants of a clash mark remain at the upper junction of the hair and cap.
