1794 S-38 R5 Head of 1794 PCGS graded XF40A nicely detailed cent with smooth surfaces and excellent eye appeal, but there are some marks. The notable ones are several small nicks on the face into the hair and cap, a collection of small digs below CE in CENT, and some marks or planchet voids on the edge at the bust tip and opposing edge over the O in OF. The edge marks are called "a tiny planchet clip" by Bland, and that may be correct, but they are a distraction nonetheless. Not a hint of roughness, and the color is a very attractive glossy chocolate brown and steel with lighter brown in protected areas, especially on the reverse. LDS, Breen state II, Heck 2. Both of the "chips" in the field below the cap are strong. Graded VF20 and tied for CC#6 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF30 net VF20 and tied for CC#5, his photo #26434. Our grade is net VF20. The reverse is plated in the Elder-Gilbert reference, the obverse is plated in the 1991 Noyes reference, and the obverse is plated to represent the VF20 grade on page 17 in the 1979 Tom Morley reference on grading 1794 cents. In addition the "H" and "D" in HUNDRED are filled with yellow ink to document ownership by Homer Downing. An important cent in spite of the marks, and it comes with a very nice provenance.Certificate Number: 35579.40/57538486Pedigree: Ex Ebenezer Gilbert, Thomas L.
