Glossy olive and dark steel brown with frosty lighter steel brown in protected areas on both sides, mostly on the obverse. No spots, stains, or contact marks. A very nice example of the Head of 1793 type with smooth surfaces and virtually no defects. The best identifying marks are a very thin planchet void at the top of the cap and a microscopic and a very dull pinprick under the right foot of the T in LIBERTY. Neither mark is visible to the unaided eye. M-LDS, Breen state II early. The first wave under the cap is clear and the second wave down from the left bottom of the cap is just starting to appear. This cent is plated in the 1923 Chapman reference on the cents of 1794 (Obverse as "2", Reverse as "2. R.1"), and it is the plate coin for the variety in the 1991 Noyes reference on the cents of 1793-1814. Graded EF45 net EF40 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #21845. Bland says EF40 and tied for CC#1. Our grade is EF40. A superb example of the Head of 1793 type, and it comes with a very nice provenance. The attribution and Naftzger-Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label.
