详细说明: Lot 1 1794 S-17a R5- Head and Edge of 1793 PCGS graded VG10.Glossy olive brown and chocolate streaked with tan and light brown on the obverse. Lighter brown covers the protected areas on the reverse. There are four parallel very light planchet lamination streaks passing NW to SE on the obverse (as struck; a very common feature on this variety). The streak from the hair to the cheek is the only one that catches your eye. Otherwise the only marks are three very light rim bruises under the date. The reverse is choice. MDS, Breen state II early. The crack from the end of the pole is faint (if present at all), and the die clashmarks under TATES are clear. Struck with the obverse misaligned slightly to K-7.5 while the reverse is off a bit more to K-3.5. The date is bold and the legends are strong. The edge lettering is complete and deeply impressed. A very nice example of this tough Head of 1793 variety. Not seen by Noyes or Bland. Our grade is VG10. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 4 finer: 1 in 15, 1 in 25, 1 in 45, 1 in 50.
