1794 S-35 R5 AG3+

. A few points sharper but covered with

fine to moderate granularity on all but the highpoints, which are

smooth. No verdigris, and the only notable contact marks are a

minor rim bruise at the top of the cap and another at the D in

UNITED. Slightly glossy light to medium chocolate brown with

darker olive brown toning in the protected areas. E-MDS. The

bisecting die crack on the obverse appears as a wave from the E

in LIBERTY to the 94 and the reverse is rotated 45 degrees CW

from the normal head-to-foot die orientation. The date and leg-

ends are all easily readable.

1794 S-36 R5 G4

. A point or two sharper but covered with

minor roughness. No marks or verdigris. Slightly glossy dark

steel brown and chocolate with slightly lighter steel brown ton-

ing on the highpoints. The date and legends are all easily read-

able, but they are not strong, and the Single Berry Left of Bow

feature is obvious.

1794 S-38 R5 VG8

. Glossy tan and light brown on the devices

blending to darker olive brown and chocolate in the protected

areas. The two-tone appearance accents the devices and adds

to the eye appeal. No roughness or verdigris, and the only

marks are a rim bruise right of the Y and a tiny one over the

second A in AMERICA. MDS. The two chips in the field under

the cap are obvious. The date and legends are complete and

easily readable and the Single Berry Left of Bow feature is

strong. A decent example of this tough variety.

Estimated Value .......................................................$400-UP

mount lot ticket included)

1794 S-40 R5+ G4

dents on the obverse and one more on the reverse. Otherwise

the planchet and surfaces are decent for the grade with only

microscopic roughness in protected areas and minor contact

marks. Glossy medium chocolate brown. MDS. The chips in the

field under the cap are clear. The date is weak but easily read-

able and the legends are clear except where affected by the

dents.

2007:141-Ed Miller Collection (lot ticket included)

1794 S-41 R3 AG3

. Sharpness F15 but unevenly corroded,

the roughness varying from microscopic to moderate. No verdi-

gris or contact marks. Slightly glossy very dark olive brown and

steel. The date is complete and easily readable but not clear

thanks to the roughness. The legends are clear. LDS showing

two strong radial die cracks non the reverse ending at CE in

CENT. The reverse is rotated 25 degrees CCW.

Estimated Value .......................................................$200-UP

1794 S-42 R4 VG8

. A couple points sharper but there is very

fine granularity under glossy dark olive brown toning. The high-

points of the devices are smooth and are toned a lighter shade

of steel brown. No verdigris, and the only notable marks are a

dull nick in the field right of the Y in LIBERTY and a tiny rim

bruise over the O in OF. Struck from dies that were axially mis-

aligned (the die faces were not perfectly parallel) causing weak-

ness on the 179 and the opposing STATES. The date and

STATES are weak but readable and everything else is clear.

Estimated Value .......................................................$400-UP
