Choice frosty light to medium reddish brown and light chocolate with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Flawless except for a short, dull scratch just left of the lowest curl, a tiny planchet flake high on the cheekbone (as struck), and a diagonal tick left of the nostril. EDS, Breen state I. The reverse is uncracked. Graded MS60 net AU55 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #21138. Bland says AU55 and CC#1. Our grade is AU55. The reverse of this cent is plated in Early American Cents and Penny Whimsy, and both sides are plated in the 1991 Noyes reference. Another very important 1794 cent in this outstanding collection, and it has an unbroken provenance that can be traced back a full century. The attribution and Naftzger-Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label.
