1797 S-137 R2 PCGS graded AU53Glossy medium brown and light chocolate with puffs of reddish brown on the obverse. There are microscopic traces of verdigris in some of the protected areas on the obverse, mostly in those reddish areas. Otherwise choice and well struck (which is a rarity for this variety). The only contact mark is a very small nick or struck-through line high on the neck. MDS, Breen state IV, with die clashmarks on both sides and a few die cracks on the reverse. Graded VF35 and tied for CC#8 in the Bland census. Noyes says EF45 net VF35 and tied for CC#5, his photo #26323. Our grade is VF35. An attractive cent in spite of the minor flaws.Certificate Number: 35942.53/61275935Pedigree: Ex John K. Borcky, Thomas L. Elder 6/19/1935:648-Frank Hussey, New Netherlands Coin Co. 4/22/1960:1387-R.
