Lot Title:	1794 Head of 1794 Good
Lot Number:	691
Description:	Sheldon-21 seems to be a likely attribution since there is a visible center dot on the reverse just left and slightly up from the left leg of "N" in CENT, and on the obverse, the broad upper edge of the hair is positioned equidistant from the bottom center of "R" and "T" above, the crosslet "4" centers precisely midway between the bottom edge of the bust and the border, and the "1" is also well-centered. But don't trust the poor, lonely cataloger, who had to interpret these diagnostic through the well-worn and modestly microporous surface -- see for yourself! Considerable wear takes away most of the peripheral lettering on the reverse save some ghostly impressions, but ONE CENT remains quite legible. LIBERTY, the date, and even some bolder design elements remain quite visible on the obverse, where some greenish tint on the high points contrasts with walnut-brown fields.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
