1794 C-4b R7 Large Edge Letters VG8+. Glossy light to medium brown blending to light chocolate brown on the devices. The surfaces are smooth and the only notable marks are a small splash of reddish chocolate toning under the 94, a small rim nick at the end of the pole, and a shallow low spot (incomplete planchet) at the top of EN in CENT. Very close to VG10. The date and legends are strong except for weakness at E in CENT thanks to the low spot in the planchet. The Large Edge Letters are complete and clear. EDS, Manley state 1.0, without any die clashmarks on the obverse. The reverse is rotated 15 degrees CCW. A nice example of a very important variety that is missing from most advanced collections, tied for CC#5 in the Mike Spurlock census. Noyes photo #73664. Weight 100.1 grains.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
