1794 S-31 R1. PCGS graded VF-35. Slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. The planchet is covered with uniform microscopic granularity on all but the highpoints, which are smooth. No marks or verdigris, and the eye appeal is decent. The edge lettering is blundered and reads "ONE HUNA DOLLAR." The PCGS label properly identifies this as a "Mint Error" with "Incomplete Edge Detail." A neat cent, and it comes with an important provenance.
Our grade is VF25+ sharpness net VF20.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
