1794 S-41 R-3 PCGS VF 30 Liberty Cap Large Cent Coin 1c

Description

PCGS authenticated and graded VF 30.
Glossy medium brown with darker olive brown and chocolate in protected areas. Smooth to the unaided eye, though a glass reveals fine roughness covers in some fields and protected areas, particularly on the reverse. There are also a half dozen small spots of shallow verdigris on the reverse. The only notable contact mark is a dull nick on the rim over the U in UNITED. MDS, Breen state V, with die cracks on the reverse and swelling at O in ONE and CE in CENT that weakens those letters. The date is strong and the remainder of the legends are clear.
