1794 S-63 R2 Repunched Date. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown.
CAC
APPROVED
. Very attractive glossy uniform light to medium choco-
late brown and steel. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected
areas on both sides. No spots or stains, only a few light contact
marks. The notable ones are a hairline scratch from the Y to the eye
and a diagonal nick on the bust right of the 4, but neither mark is at
all distracting and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. Sharply
struck MDS Breen state II, with die clashmarks on both sides. The
repunching on the date is clearly visible on all 4 digits. A beautiful
example of this popular variety with the oddly placed date digits.
Graded MS60 net AU55 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo
