not mine... and I do not know this series well... but I think this is a very cool looking coin... just wondering what the experts think. I can see the hair is flat.. i am assuming this is because the failing die?


thanks!

    Grade about 35.
    Seen many that have the flatness on the hair and many that do not.
    Is probably just wear.

    Here is a example of a ms one of the same die.

    Placid, I'd like to buy that coin as a 35.

    I'll admit it has me a little befuddled but the lower relief devices look AU to me. I'd say the flat spots are mostly a result of die failure/strike. The only thing that I don't like is the corrosion spot on the reverse. --Jerry

    Btw is a nice site Here with pictures of almost all the 1794 varieties. The coins varry a good amount in grade and you can get a good idea of wear patterns on these coins.

    Yes, I have Jon's book of 1794 cents and several other references that I consulted looking for a description of this die state. --Jerry

    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
