1794 S-19a R5+ Head and Edge of 1793 PCGS Fine Detail Graffiti. Slightly glossy dark chocolate brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints of the devices. The surfaces look smooth to the unaided eye but a glass reveals uniform extremely fine roughness covering both sides. No verdigris and the only marks are a few very light hairline scratches hidden in the toning on the obverse (not to be confused with "Graffiti") and a minor rim bruise right of the second S in STATES. The date is complete and easily readable and the legends are complete except for weakness at TATES OF due to the usual weaker strike in that area. The edge lettering is complete and strong (including the downward-pointing leaf following DOLLAR). MDS, Breen state II, with subtle bulges in the field below the cap. Graded F12 net VG7 and tied for CC#13 in the Noyes census, his photo #32214. Del Bland says VG8 and tied for CC#10 in his census. Our grade is VG8. Comes with a very nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #35516. Estimated Value $3,500 - UP
