1794 S-40 R5+ Head of 1794 PCGS graded AU50A nicely detailed cent with smooth surfaces and excellent eye appeal, but there is a dull scratch hidden in the ends of the top four hair curls and a minor rim bruise left of the lowest curls. Otherwise just trivial marks under glossy chocolate and light olive brown toning. This cent was struck twice and there is clear evidence of the first strike on both sides. The cap from the initial impression shows in the field off the chin and the outline of the top of the head is visible from the bottom of the neck to the truncation above the 9. Evidence of the first strike is visible on the right side of the wreath, especially in the leaves under the f, under the T in CENT, and below RICA. The second strike was rotated about 180 degrees CCW relative to the first. E-MDS, Breen state II, Heck 3, before any die cracks. The diagonal die line through the left side of the C in CENT is clear. A very nice cent in spite of the few marks, and the double strike is a bonus. Called VF25 and CC#7 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF25 net F15 and tied for CC#7. Our grade is VF25 net F15+, close to VF20. Comes with an impressive provenance that includes some experts who apparently did not notice the double strike. But Fred did.Certificate Number: 35585.50/57538487Pedigree: Ex Henry C. Miller, Thomas L. Elder 4/13/1917:691-Henry C. Hines-Carl Wurtzbach, Barney Bluestone 2/28/1948:433-Willard C.
