Lot 135
1796 S-84 R3 Liberty Cap F12+. Slightly sharper but a shallow rim bruise at the Y in LIBERTY has been carefully smoothed. This flaw is not visible unless you look directly at the edge, and the only other mark is a small planchet chip near the dentils right of the D in UNITED. Very attractive glossy medium chocolate brown with choice eye appeal. E-MDS Breen state II with a die crack through the top of OF. Struck very slightly off center to K-5, but only the dentils were affected. The date is bold and the legends are strong.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
