1794 S-61 R4 Head of 1794 NGC graded MS61 BrownGlossy light olive brown and chocolate with slightly lighter brown toning on the devices. A very sharp cent that has excellent eye appeal and just a hint of rub on the highpoints. The only marks are some of the usual tiny planchet imperfections/chips scattered over both sides. The notable ones are a couple at IT in UNITED and a thin void through the left foot of the first A in AMERICA, all as struck of course. MDS, Breen state III, with obvious die clashmarks on both sides and fine die cracks. This is the plate coin for the variety in Early American Cents, Penny Whimsy, and the 2000 Breen encyclopedia on early large cents. Called MS60 and CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 net AU50 and tied for CC#2 honors, his photo #36357. Our grade is AU58. This cent was once included on the list of pieces removed from the Clapp-ANS collection, but it was subsequently removed from that list (see the Winter 1999 ANS Newsletter, page 12, showing this S-61 was removed from the list of cents in dispute). Comes with a great provenance that has been traced back more than a century.Certificate Number: 6357149-009Pedigree: Ex Henry C. Miller, The United States Coin Co. 12/5/1917:115-Dr. George P.
