1797 S-122 R5+ VG10+
Sharpness VF25 but covered with fine roughness that dulls the gloss. Slightly glossy medium steel brown and light chocolate. No verdigris but there are some light contact marks including several faint hairline scratches on the obverse, a chip out of the center of the E in CENT, and a rim bruise at the U in UNITED. E-MDS, Breen state II, with a die crack through the top of MERIC. Graded VF25 net F12 and tied for CC#2 honors in the Bland census. Noyes says F15 net VG10 and tied for CC#4, his photo #27610. Removed from a PCGS slab graded F15 (PCGS label #35906.15/13470572 included, and it shows the attribution and Husak provenance). An imperfect but important cent, and it comes with a nice provenance.
