1794 S-64 R5- No Fraction Bar PCGS Genuine VF Details
Environmental Damage
. Frosty dark chocolate brown and
steel. The surfaces are covered with rather uniform fine to mod-
erate roughness, but there is no verdigris and only a few trivial
marks, all hidden in the patina. Rare LDS, Breen state V, with a
strong radial die crack from the rim through the D in UNITED to
the wreath. The date and legends are complete. The fraction is
relatively weak, as always on this variety, but it is complete.
Our grade is VF30+ sharpness net VG10.
The attribution
and "No Fraction Bar" feature are shown on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value .......................................................$500-UP
265
1794 S-67 R3 Head of 1795 NGC graded VF35
. Glossy
dark steel brown and chocolate. No corrosion or verdigris, only
minor contact marks. The notable ones are a pinprick between
the bases of the B & E in LIBERTY, a faint hairline scratch under
the ear lobe, and a rim nick over the E in STATES. Nicely struck
MDS, Breen state III, with die clashmarks showing on the
obverse.
Our grade is VF20.
The attribution is shown on the
NGC label.
Pop 2; none finer at NGC.
Estimated Value .................................................... $2,500-UP
266
1794 S-67 R3 Head of 1795 F15
. Blundered Edge reading
ONE HUNDRED A DOLLAR. Sharpness VF20 but there are a few
light marks including a shallow planchet chip in the field left of
the lower curls, a pair of hairline scratches at CENT, a planchet
chip at the top of the O in ONE, and a pair of rim bruises at F-
AM. Attractive glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with
smooth surfaces. MDS, Breen state III, with obvious die clash-
marks on the obverse and a fine die crack through the top of
RTY. The blundered edge lettering resulted from the Castaing
machine (a device used to impart the edge device to planchets
prior to striking) was not reset all the way to the starting or null
position before adding the lettering. There is a very large space
between DOLLAR and ONE and no trace of the missing "A." A
neat mint error.
Estimated Value .......................................................$800-UP
267
1794 S-71 R2 Head of 1795 G5
. A couple points sharper but

9 and another from the hair into the field under the cap. Slightly
glossy very dark olive brown and steel. The date is strong and
the legends are complete, although ONE CENT is weak.
Estimated Value .......................................................$200-UP
