Date: 1793Sharpness F12 with fine hairline scratches on the obverse, mostly on the portrait, and a few light rim bruises on both sides, strongest one under the bust tip. There is a small planchet lamination through the bottom half of the 3 and a dozen small planchet voids on the reverse slanting from the upper left down to the lower right, strongest at the ribbon. The obverse is glossy medium chocolate brown with darker olive brown toning in protected areas, the contrast accenting the details. The reverse is mostly glossy reddish chocolate brown with dark olive covering the protected areas on the lower right. This darker area contains some very light crud or verdigris. The date is strong (although the bottom half of the 3 is distorted slightly by the lamination), and the legends are bold, except for ONE CENT, which is weakened by the usual swelling in the center of the reverse. Later die state, the crack down through Y and reverse swelling both strong. Called net VG7 and tied for CC#4 in the Bland census. Noyes says net G6 and sixth finest known, his photo #20341. Considered VG7 and the fifth finest of only 12 known by James A. Neiswinter, author of the 2013 definitive reference on the S-15 variety: The Aristocrat, The Story of the 1793 Sheldon 15. Our grade is net VG7. An important prize for the advanced collector of early large cents. And it comes with a great provenance, as you would expect. The attribution and Mervis Collection provenance are noted on the NGC label.2038647-002Ex W. B. Guy, Henry Chapman 11/1911:350 ($42.50)-Dr. George P. French 3/21/1929-B.
