Description
1814 Classic Head Cent. S-294, B-1. Rarity-1. Crosslet 4. VF-35 (PCGS). CAC.
The hard, tight surfaces of this Choice VF example are warmly toned in original medium brown with tinges of pale rose discernible at direct lighting angles. The strike is generally well centered, although the border denticulation is thin to absent at lower right obverse and upper right reverse. A tiny planchet pit in the left obverse field warrants mention only because the surfaces are impressively smooth otherwise, and especially for a moderately circulated survivor of this challenging large cent type. For the grade, it is difficult for us to imagine a more desirable Classic Head cent for type purposes.
PCGS# 1573. NGC ID: 224Y.
From the Srotag Collection. Earlier from Heritage' Long Beach Signature Auction of February 2018, lot 7099.
