- 1794 1C Head of 1794, S-43, B-32, R.2, AU55 NGC. Our EAC Grade XF40. Breen Die State IV. On the S-43 variety of the 1794 Liberty Cap cent the bust is low and the lowest curl is clipped, while OF is weak on the reverse, and a die crack is evident above the A in STATES. The S-43 probably accounted for most of the 32,000 cents delivered on May 9, 1794, making examples relatively easy to locate today. The present coin is an attractive Choice AU piece, with pleasing olive-brown surfaces that show only minor abrasions and just a trace of actual wear. The design elements are well detailed, with interesting clash marks under the cap on the obverse and a prominent die crack through U in UNITED. This coin is tied with five other examples for the 13th through 18th slots in the Noyes Condition Census. Ex: Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $9400.00.

- 1794 1C Head of 1794, S-32, B-18, R.2, MS62 Brown NGC. Our EAC Grade AU50. Breen Die State V. The S-32 variety of the 1794 Liberty Cap cent is recognized by the upturned fourth and sixth locks of hair (counting from the bottom), and the die crack from the rim through the first S to the adjacent leaf and berry. The S-32 is a reasonably available variety and probably accounted for most of the 15,000 cents delivered on March 28, 1794. The dies were misaligned, resulting in an often-seen weakness on the right border, both obverse and reverse. At least one of the dies was loose enough to rotate slightly, the effects easily seen in the dramatic multiple clashmarks on the reverse of this coin. The present coin is a delightful MS62 example, with well-detailed design elements that show some weakness on the right side, due to misalignment of the dies. The glossy brown surfaces are free of large or distracting contact marks and eye appeal is quite strong. This coin is the number 6 example in the Noyes Condition Census. Ex: Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $32900.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1794 1C Head of 1794, S-23, B-7, High R.4, XF40 NGC. Our EAC Grade VF25. Breen Die State V. The tall 1 resting on a long fraction bar on the reverse and the Standless 4 in the date identify this coin as an example of the S-23 variety. The S-23 is a very scarce variety, probably struck as a small part of the 16,000 cents delivered on February 22, 1794. The variety was discovered by Dr. Edward Maris, some time before 1869. This coin is tied with two other pieces for the 11/13 position in the Noyes Condition Census. A charming example from a late state of the dies, it displays extensive obverse die cracks and well-detailed design elements that show only a little actual wear. The central reverse exhibits some of the softness often seen on this issue, and the pleasing brown surfaces show only minor abrasions. Ex: A.H. Baldwin & Sons, Ltd.; Eric P. Newman; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $18800.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1794 1C Head of 1794, S-21, B-5, R.3, VF30 NGC. Our EAC Grade Fine 15. Breen Die State III. The 1794 Liberty Cap cents with the Head of 1794 were struck in large numbers from dies engraved by Robert Scot, with many die varieties known to present-day numismatists. This coin is an example of the "Flat Pole" S-21 variety, identified by the recut pole that broadens toward the end, and the long dentils, ribbons, and stems on the reverse. The S-21 was struck before the other varieties of the Head of '94 type. The present coin is an attractive VF30 example that shows even wear on the sharply impressed design elements. Liberty's ear is plainly visible and much interior design detail remains intact. The pleasing brown surfaces show scattered minor abrasions. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2232.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1794 1C Head of 1793, S-18b, B-2b, R.4, VF30 NGC. CAC. Our EAC Grade VF20. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Breen Die State I. The 1794 cents with the Head of 1793 were included in the 11,000 coins struck from January 10-13, 1794. The dies were completed by Robert Scot, using Joseph Wright's Liberty Cap punch. The present coin exhibits the Double Chin on Liberty and the blundered N in CENT that are characteristic of both the S-18a and S-18b varieties. The difference between the two varieties is the edge treatment, which shows the point and stem of the leaf after DOLLAR pointing down on S-18a, and up on S-18b. This coin represents the commoner S-18b variety. The coins were struck on planchets made by Taylor & Bailey. The piece offered here is tied with one other for the 15/16 position in the Noyes Condition Census for the variety. This pleasing VF30 example offers lightly abraded brown surfaces with evenly worn design elements that retain much of their original detail, including a visible ear. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $15.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $47000.00.

- 1793 1C Liberty Cap, S-13, B-20, Low R.4, AU53 NGC. Our EAC Grade XF40. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Breen Die State I. Although the usefulness of the cent is debatable in present-day economics, the coin was an extremely convenient denomination for everyday purchases in the 1790s, and a staple of the early U.S. coinage system. One of the denominations authorized by the Mint Act of 1792, the cent made its debut in 1793, but the Flowing Hair design (both Chain and Wreath types) met with mixed reviews from the general public. Joseph Wright's aesthetically pleasing Liberty Cap design soon replaced the earlier issues, to popular acclaim. Wright was born in July of 1756, in Bordentown, New Jersey and the early 1770s found him living in London, where he established himself as an artist. Returning to this country in 1782, Wright became well known for his portraits of prominent public figures, including George and Martha Washington. He was also a first-class engraver and produced the dies for the Major Henry Lee medal. Mint Director David Rittenhouse appointed him acting engraver, and he began working at the Philadelphia Mint in August of 1793. Tragically, he died of yellow fever in September, after being employed at the Mint for only a few weeks. Wright based his design for the cent on the 1782 Libertas Americana medal, produced in France at the behest of Benjamin Franklin, from dies engraved by Augustin Dupre'. Six die varieties of the 1793 Liberty Cap cent are known to numismatists today, from combinations of four obverse and two reverse dies. The present coin is the S-13 variety, identified by the position of the L in LIBERTY nearly touching the beads at the obverse border, and the triple leaf cluster below OF on the reverse. The obverse portrait is in high relief; the reverse wreath is simpler than the device used on earlier issues, to avoid striking problems. Darwin B. Palmer's poll of EAC members rated the S-13 as the most beautiful of all 1793 cent varieties. The entire mintage of 1793 Liberty Cap cents, amounting to 11,056 pieces, was delivered on September 18, 1793, by Chief Coiner Henry Voigt. Like Augustus Saint-Gaudens more than a century later, it is doubtful that Joseph Wright lived to see his beautiful design in coinage form. The Mint closed its doors a few hours after the coins were delivered, to avoid the worst of the yellow fever epidemic, and only reopened on November 12. No more cents were struck until January of the following year. The old copper large cents were produced until 1857, when they were replaced by the smaller copper-nickel cents for economic reasons. Coin collecting became widely popular in this country at about the same time, with nostalgia for the vanishing coppers often credited as the cause. Certainly the old cents were among the most widely collected issues in the early days of the hobby. The first sale of a 1793 S-13 example we can identify for certain is the coin in lot 5 of the Private Collection of United States Cents (Edward Cogan, 11/1858). That coin realized $7.25, to pioneer coinage collector Joseph Mickley. More recent sales include the AU55 PCGS example in lot 2014 of the Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2008), which realized $632,500. The present coin traces its history to the fabulous collection of "Colonel" E.H.R. Green, and from there to Eric P. Newman. It has thus been off the market for at least 78 years, and possibly much longer. During that time, it was not available for study by all but the most advanced specialists researching early coppers. This piece is listed in a tie for the number 12/13 position in the Official Condition Census for U.S. Large Cents by Bill Noyes. It was uncertified and assigned a grade in the VF range for that evaluation. It is currently certified as AU53 by NGC. Only one example of the S-13 1793 cent has been certified finer by either of the leading grading services (8/14). The coin offered here is an attractive AU53 example, with glossy brown surfaces that show hints of original luster. The design elements are lightly worn and a few minor abrasions are evident on close inspection, none unduly distracting. The overall presentation is quite appealing. Census: 1 in 53 Brown, 0 finer (8/14). Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric p. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P.
