My EAC Newp.

At first glance non-copperphiles might think this is not much, but go try to find a straight graded head of '93 and you will see that this is a VERY tough coin. Heritage has sold only about 8 straight graded ones ever in their archives. PCGS has only graded 46 of them.

    Quite a lot of meat/detail on just the obverse pic for a G-4!

    Looks nice image

    That is what one of my late numismatic buddies referred to as a "sizzler!"

    Congrats. That is a tough coin.

    Looks like a beast and a very special coin. Even appears to have nice color.

    Congrats. image

    At first glance, it looks like a Fine to me!
    And that is a variety I'd like to get some time, but as stated, most of them quite scudzy.

    Unfortunately the reverse isn't great. But, I didn't mind since its the obverse of this coin that shows it's variety.

    I actually sent it to PCGS today for reholdering and to be Trueviewed. Will post the pics when Phil sends em.

    Now I understand why PCGS graded that coin as a Good. The reverse lettering on the high grade S-21 I have is in very low relief, and it easy to why the obverse is so much better than the reverse. The S-21 has a reverse that was paired with the last of the Head of '93 cents.

    Sweet Newp! image

    A 1794 Head of '93 is definitely near the top on the "short" list of coins I'd love to have in my set one day.

    A lot of meat on that obverse, I like it.

    Very few of these in PCGS holders.
    The obverse is a fine.

    Rays, you and Ankur have collections that just amaze me. I cannot imagine how much work and money went into assembling it. But, I really appreciate your collections and your contributions to educating neophytes like me.
