A friend of mine sent me pics of this 1794 Large Cent. Can anyone tell me why I like it so much?

Based on the pole, it looks like an S-21 (head of 1794).

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

That wasn't an easy one.
I thought I saw die cracks that weren't there.
Also, the 3rd leaf under OF was hiding and that really messed me up.
Could you tell us a bit more about the coin?
Maybe pop, distribution and how your friend found it?
I've been doing rather well with this field guide you sent me.

Ah yeah, so the obverse is a pretty easy one as long as the date is visible. Wide with 94 leaning left, verified with the dentil alignments below. LIBERTY high. I'm updating the next version (1793-1814, 270+ full color pages) to include that the berries left of the bow are higher than the other marriages with this same obverse. The leaf position next to T in CENT rules out the S-26 for sure.
The only thing he's told me so far is that it's a recent find, an unknown piece until now.

Perhaps this is obvious . . . . . . my apologies if so.
Is this a detectorist find ????? Groundfound?

It may well be, but I don't know for sure.

When can you take my money!?
LOL, it won't be long. Maybe 1-2 months.

How long before vol. 2 comes out?

An R7+ NC die marriage is quite a find!
As an aside, it would be neat to cherry-pick an NC off of eBay someday.
For me, the fascination would be entirely with the date....Wow...1795 cent.... Cheers, RickO
