1794 S-67 R3 Head of 1795 Fair-2

Slightly sharper, particularly on the obverse, but there is pitting at the lower curls into the field to the left. The remainder of the planchet is covered with microscopic granularity but there are no contact marks or verdigris. The date is strong. The interesting feature of this cent is the doubled edge letters. Apparently this planchet went through the edge lettering device two times with a 15-20 degree separation between the letters. The edge letters are complete and strong, the best feature on this cent. Removed from an NGC slab as AG Details Corrosion (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution, error status, and Newman provenance).
