1794 S-26 R2 VG8
A couple points sharper but there are a few minor rim bruises on both sides, the most notable of these being over the R in LIBERTY and opposite the eye. The surfaces are decent but not perfectly smooth; a glass reveals microscopic granularity in the fields and protected areas. Mostly glossy medium chocolate brown and olive with lighter brown toning on the devices. LDS, Breen state VII, with two strong radial die cracks on the reverse and swelling at CE in CENT that nearly obliterates those two letters. Otherwise the date and legends are complete and clear. The edge lettering on this cent was added twice with a 15 degree separation between the two impressions. Both impressions read in the same direction, and the first rendering is relatively weak with only selected letters still easily visible. Perhaps the second attempt was purposeful because the mint worker realized the first impression was too shallow. We can only guess. But as a result there are two clearly defined leaves between DOLLAR and ONE. According to a note on the Blaisdell collection envelope this cent was described in an early issue of "The Numismatist" to announce the extra leaf following DOLLAR. Perhaps they didn't see the additional edge letters that could explain the second leaf. An interesting mint error.
