1794 S-17a R5- Head and Edge of 1793 VG7Slightly glossy dark steel and olive brown with lighter brown on the highpoints. Nicely details but covered with fine to moderate roughness on all but the highpoints, which are smooth. No verdigris or notable marks other that a small scrape on the rim over the M in AMERICA. The date is bold, the legends are clear, and the edge lettering is bold. E-MDS, Breen state II, Heck state 1, with a faint bulge from the L to the head. Struck slightly off center to K-4.5. Graded VG7 by Del Bland. Noyes says VG8 net G6 and tied for CC#21, his photo #62601. In our opinion the sharpness of this cent is far superior to the Noyes assessment of VG8; it would rate a grade of VF20 or better if the surfaces were smooth. Comes with a nice provenance.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Dr. William H. Sheldon-C. Douglas Smith-R. A. Brown 5/23/1958-Darwin B. Palmer, Jr. 12/8/1972-Dr. Robert J.
