Lot 80
1794 S-49 R2. VF-35. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown with hints of reddish chocolate toning in some of the protected areas and lots of lighter brown toning in the reverse fields. The surfaces are smooth except for some natural planchet roughness at RTY and a small spot of very fine roughness at the left top of the 1 in the date. A faint hairline scratch at the right side of the second S in STATES is the only notable contact mark, and it is barely visible. Nicely struck EDS, Breen state I, before the die crack through E in LIBERTY. Called EF40 and tied for CC#3 in the Bland census. Noyes says EF40 net VF30 and tied for CC#10, his photo #38628. DWH #2706.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
