1794 S-19b R4 Head of 1793, Rev of 1794 PCGS graded F15.
Slightly glossy light to medium steel brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are mostly smooth but a glass reveals traces of extremely fine roughness in a few protected areas, primarily on the upper part of the reverse. There are just a few light contact marks; the notable ones being a light rim bruise left of the date, another right of the second S in STATES, and a disjointed scratch in the leaves under TED. It appears this cent would benefit from a proper brushing to bring out the underlying gloss. E-MDS, Breen state II early, with two subtle vertical waves in the field under the cap, the left wave barely visible. Softly struck at BERTY and the opposing legend at ICA to the denominator, probably caused by dies not in proper axial alignment (die faces not perfectly parallel). Everything else is well struck and the date is strong. Graded F15 net VG10 by Noyes, his photo #34287. Bland says VF20 and tied for CC#11.Bob Grellman

. A nice mid-grade example of the popular Head of 1793 type, and the portrait is well defined. Comes with a very nice provenance that has been traced back more than a century.
