Lot 113
1797 S-138 R1. PCGS graded AU-58+. CAC Approved. Lustrous dark chocolate brown and steel with slightly lighter steel brown in protected areas. Essentially flawless showing just a hint of rub on the highest points and no defects. Finding an identifying mark presents quite a challenge (which is a nice problem to have, of course). A collection of extremely faint hairlines on the cheek and a tiny struck-through mark just right of the base of the D in UNITED will have to suffice. LDS, Breen state VIII, with all the die cracks and swelling mentioned by Breen. Graded AU50 and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes census, his photo #27839. Our grade is EF45+, very close to AU50. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 1 finer in MS64 at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 35945) .
Estimated Value $7,500-UP.
