Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate with faint hints of brick red undertones in protected areas. Mint frost covers the fields and protected areas. A beautiful, nearly flawless example of a very lightly worn 1794 cent. The best identifying marks are a tiny, barely visible tick on the rim under the end of the pole, a microscopic planchet void on the lower part of the 7, a faint hairline scratch in the field close to the forehead, and a microscopic planchet chip in the center of the pole. None of these marks is visible without the aid of a good glass and the eye appeal of the cent is superb. LDS, Breen state VIII, with advanced "mounds" on the reverse and several fine die cracks on the obverse. Called AU50 Choice and tied for CC#4 honors in the Bland census. Graded AU55 Choice and tied for finest known in the Noyes census, his photo #29814. A premium example of a relatively common die variety.
