Date: 1794Several points sharper but there are a half dozen strong nicks on the obverse and a few more on the reverse, all very old and blended into the natural toning. Most of the planchet shows extremely fine roughness but the highpoints are smooth. The only verdigris is a small patch of waxy greenish crud at the L in LIBERTY. Slightly glossy medium chocolate brown with lighter brown toning on the devices. The date and legends are complete and easily readable. Graded VG10 net G5 and tied for CC#11 in the Noyes census, his photo #25032. Bland says VG7 net G5 and CC#11. An acceptable example of the "Key" Sheldon variety amoung the 1794 cents, and it comes with a very nice provenance that goes back over 100 years. Ex; George C. Carleton, Thomas L.
