Lot 55
1794 S-34 R5+. VG-10. Choice glossy light to medium brown. The planchet is smooth and very attractive, well above average for the grade. The only marks are a pair of light rim bruises near the bust tip, another at ST in STATES, and a couple tiny pinpricks left of the first A in AMERICA. The date and legends are strong. M-LDS, Breen state III. The die crack arcing through the top of the cap is strong, and this crack outlines a slightly sunken retained cud between the crack and the rim. Tied for CC#7 in both census lists (Bland as VG10, Noyes as VG8, his photo #20181.) DWH #0039.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
