1794 S-20b R5 Head of 1793 G4. A couple points sharper, particularly on the obverse, but covered with fine to moderate granularity under rather glossy dark olive brown toning. The roughness is strongest on the reverse. No verdigris, but there are some old scratches in the obverse fields. The date is clear, even strong on most digits, and LIBERTY is clear as well. The legends and devices on the reverse are weaker but readable. Not perfect but the strong date and LIBERTY are a big plus for this rare variety. Estimated Value $500-UP
