1794 S-20b R5 Head of 1793, Edge of 1794 NGC graded XF Details
Sharpness VF25 but the reverse is covered with very fine granularity under mostly glossy light chocolate brown and steel toning. No verdigris, just minor marks including a very thin planchet fissure at the bottom of the cap, a dull tick in the field off the end of the nose, and a small pinprick under the I in AMERICA. MDS, Breen state II early, with a subtle wave across the obverse from the middle of the cap to the dentils before the chin. Graded VF20 and tied for CC#8 in the Del Bland census. Noyes says VF25 net F15 and tied for CC8, his photo #32991. Our grade is F15+. Comes with a very nice provenance.
