1794 S-50 R5 Head of 1794 PCGS graded XF45Glossy tan and light olive blending to reddish brown in protected areas. Smooth and quite attractive with light wear and trivial marks. The notable marks are a small spot of darker toning (not carbon) in the field below the cap, a nick on the top of the I in LIBERTY, and a small tick left of the first S in STATES. Nicely centered and well struck. LDS, Breen state III (a die state called Extremely Rare by Breen), Heck state 2, with a clear die crack from the 4 through the bust tip and pole into the field to the right. Graded VF25 and CC#7 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF30 net VF20 and tied for CC#6, his photo #26537. Our grade is VF25. This is the discovery coin for the variety, identified as a new die combination by Ebenezer Gilbert in 1896. This cent comes with a remarkable provenance and the H & D in HUNDRED are filled with yellow ink to identify this as a coin from the Homer Downing Collection. Both sides are plated in the Gilbert-Elder reference and the obverse is plated on page 22 of the 1979 Morley reference. Just an all-around great cent.Certificate Number: 35612.45/57538491Pedigree: Discovered as a new variety by Ebenezer Gilbert in 1896, Thomas L.
