Lot 58
1793 S-4 R3 Chain AMERICA with Periods Fair-2. A considerably sharper coin, perhaps Fine-12 overall, but it was plugged through the R in LIBERTY to the opposing second S in STATES. In addition LIBERTY and the date were reengraved in letters and numerals that are larger than the original ones seen on the variety. The planchet is granular or lightly corroded, and the obverse fields have been scraped to smooth away most of the roughness. No additional marks or verdigris. Toned an attractive and slightly glossy medium chocolate and olive brown. Estimated Value $1,500-UP
Ex R. J. Rudolph Collection.
