Frosty dark steel brown. The surfaces are satiny and lustrous and this cent has solid mint state eye appeal in spite of a touch of friction on the very highest points of the devices. The only marks are some pre-striking planchet chips resulting from minor axial die misalignment (the die faces not perfectly parallel). The strike was a bit stronger on the lower half of the obverse and the opposing upper half of the reverse. As a result some microscopic planchet chips show along the top of the obverse and bottom of the reverse. The only notable planchet chip is on the upper part of the cap. EDS, Breen state I, before the heavy die clashmarks. The repunching at the left base of the A in STATES is sharp. Often referred to as the “Office-Boy Reverse†variety due to the amateurish die cutting on the reverse die, most obvious at TA in STATES. Graded AU55 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #22507. Bland also says AU55 and CC#2. Our grade is AU58. This cent in plated in the 1923 Chapman reference on the cents of 1794 and is the plate coin for the variety in the 2000 Breen encyclopedia. Another superior cent that comes with a great provenance, this one traced back over 150 years. The attribution and Husak Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
