Date: 1794Sharpness EF40 but covered with fine to moderate roughness under slightly glossy reddish dark chocolate brown toning. Traces of greenish patina can be found in protected areas but you need a glass to see any of it. There are a few small planchet fissures on the bust tip and area below (as struck) plus a rim nick over the right side of the F in OF. Has the look of a cent that saw very little time in circulation before being lost in soil or some other reactive environment. Nicely struck with the obverse die slightly misaligned to K-4.5. M-LDS, Breen state IV, with die cracks on the reverse and minor swelling at CE in CENT. Struck with the reverse rotated 20 degrees CCW. Graded net F15 by Del Bland and CC#10 in his census. Noyes says VF35 net F12 and tied for CC#8, his photo #37229. Comes with a very nice provenance.Ex Charles J. DuPont, Stack's Anderson DuPont Sale 9/24/1954:56-Dorothy I.
