1794 1C Abrupt Hair, S-42, BN MS (PCGS#35591)

August 2018 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Philadelphia, PA

Lot Description: 1794 Liberty Cap Cent. S-42. Rarity-4-. Head of 1794. VF-30 BN (NGC). An original and appealing mid-grade Liberty Cap cent with dominant medium brown patina to both sides. Deeper russet color is also noted, especially around the reverse periphery, and it is largely associated with light surface scale. Lightly struck along the lower obverse and upper reverse borders, the latter typical of the variety, yet with a clear date on the former side. Scattered marks are generally commensurate with the grade, although a concentration of short scrapes on the reverse at the letter E in CENT is worthy of note. An overall boldly defined example of this scarcer die marriage of the 1794-dated issue. PCGS# 901374. NGC ID: 223M. Click here for certification details from NGC.
