    Im having a hard time figuring out the variety of this wonderful 1794 Large cent - can someone be of help? Couldn't even identify the main "redbook variety" on this i.e. head of 93, 94 etc..

    Thanks for any inputs on this coin!

    Looks like S-49, die stage 1 before the die crack from the rim down through the upright of the E the the head formed.

    Thanks for the reply! I actually got the same suggestion (S-49) from another source earlier today so pretty sure that's the variety then [emoji4]
    VF details perhaps?

    You've already got the best, but I'll throw in my concurrent opinion on S-49 Die State I.

    The first thing you have to do when grading is know the distinction between TPGs and EAC grading. The differences are significant. I don't see a reason why it should be net graded or detail graded from the photos.

    Comparing it with Coins on the Heritage database, it appears to be similar to one called XF40 by Bland, VF30 by Noyes and XF45 by PCGS. That coin is in an 8 way tie for third finest. Of course, it has to be seen in the copper to verify condition.

    In any event, it is a truly lovely coin.

    Is it possible that this is the earliest "woody?" The layered look reminds me of the woodies some collect from the small cent series.
