1797 S-120a R3 Reverse of 1795, Plain Edge PCGS graded VF25. Glossy chocolate and darker steel brown. The surfaces are smooth and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. No trace of roughness or verdigris and only a few trivial marks. The notable ones, and they are visible only under magnification, are a fine diagonal hairline from the tip of the nose into the hair left of the forehead and a tiny planchet flake on the 1 in the denominator (as struck). E-MDS, Breen state II. There are traces of fine die rust along the profile of the face and minor bulging at UNI. The date is bold and the legends are clear. Our grade is F15. The attribution and Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2 in VF; 4 finer for the variety. PCGS #35894. Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
Ex Chris McCawley 6/2011-Gene Heard Collection.
