S-17a

LOT 20 1794 S-17a R5- Head of 1793 G5 Several points sharper but there are nearly parallel planchet flaws on the obverse, deepest on the neck (unfortunately this variety usually comes with significant planchet defects). The rest of the planchet is covered with fine roughness. No contact marks or verdigris. The date is strong and the legends are complete although a few letters on the reverse are weak. MDS, Breen state II, with a subtle bulge from the L in LIBERTY to the head and a die crack from the end of the pole to the rim. Comes with a very nice provenance. $2,950
