Date: 1793Sharpness G5, even better on the reverse, but this cent had two small holes centrally located, and those holes were very skillfully repaired. Perhaps this cent was used as a "spinner" or button long ago. The repairs are virtually undetectable today. Retoned dark olive brown and steel. Rather dull from microscopic granularity but there is no verdigris and only a few small marks. A small chip in the hair right of the bottom of the cap, a larger one over the right side of the E in CENT, and a small one in the wreath right of the T in CENT are the notable marks. The date is weak but readable and the legends are clear. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CCW. Graded G5 net AG3 by Noyes, his photo #32400-2. Our grade is net AG3. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the NGC label.3417832-017Ex Michael Matthews-James E. Long, Jr. (who had the holes repaired by Larry Hartley)-Larry Briggs Rare Coins-James E.
