1794 S-26 R2 PCGS Genuine XF Details Environmental Damage. An attractive cent but there are traces of shallow verdigris in protected areas on the reverse. Otherwise the surfaces appear to be smooth with extremely faint granularity visible only with strong magnification. The only contact marks, and they are barely noticeable, are a tick on the hair right of the cap and a minor rim bruise at the second A in AMERICA. LDS, Breen state VII, with strong die cracks through the first S and E in STATES and swelling at the C in CENT. In addition the reverse is rotated 25 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Our grade is VF25 sharpness net F15+. A nice cent in spite of the minor surface issues, and it comes with an impressive provenance. The attribution and Trollan provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
