1794 S-18b R4 Head of 1793, Edge of 1794 VF30A sharp, smooth cent with nice eye appeal and a superior provenance, but it was lightly burnished and retoned. Glossy dark chocolate brown and steel with some slightly lighter brown on both sides. Just a couple trivial marks including a tiny chip in the field off the chin and a barely visible rim bruise below the 9. LDS, Breen state V, Heck state 4, with strong swelling under ED. The H & D in HUNDRED are filled with yellow ink to signify ownership by Homer Downing. Graded EF40 and tied for CC#11 in the Bland census. Noyes says AU50 net VF30 and tied for CC#11, his photo #85122. A sharp, important cent that might deserve a better retoning.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Captain Andrew C. Zabriskie, H.
