1794 S-32 R2 Head of 1794 VF35+Frosty light to medium steel brown with a few small peeps of lighter brown and tan in protected areas. Lightly worn on the highpoints with just a few small nicks on the neck and the usual planchet chips in the field before the portrait and the opposing area at OF-AM. The rest of the planchet is smooth. This variety was struck from dies that were not in proper axial alignment (the die faces were not parallel). Even the finest known examples of the variety show planchet chips to some degree in those areas. Why the coiners failed to correct the problem during the production run will remain a mystery. LDS, Breen state V, with a cud break over LI, bold radial die crack through the first S in STATES, and strong die clashmarks on the reverse. Graded VF35 and tied for CC#9 honors in both the Bland and Noyes census lists, Noyes photo #36290. Removed from a PCGS holder graded XF45 (PCGS label #35561.45/81232291 included, and it shows the attribution and Schuman-Robinson-Boka provenance). Comes with a very nice provenance.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Discovered in England-Frederick G. "Fritz" Weber-C. Douglas Smith-Del Bland 11/1973-Dr. Robert A. Schuman 3/1976-Denis W.
