Lot 137
1794 S-17a R5- Head of 1793 PCGS Genuine, VG Details, Damage or Tooling. Edge Device of 1793. Sharpness VG10 or a bit better, especially on the reverse, but the obverse details are blunted by uniform light corrosion while the reverse is mostly smooth showing only trivial roughness with traces of verdigris in protected areas. The 17 in the date is weakened by some light scratches. The only marks of any note on the reverse are a couple tiny rim nicks including one under the fraction. Somewhat glossy dark olive brown and chocolate. The edge lettering is complete and strong. E-MDS, Breen state II, with a die crack from the rim to the end of the pole. Our grade is net G5 overall but the reverse is a solid VG10. The attribution and "Head of 1793" are shown on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
