Lot 82
1794 S-41 R3 PCGS graded VF30. Mostly glossy medium brown with darker olive brown and chocolate in protected areas. The devices are smooth and the obverse looks perfectly smooth to the unaided eye, but fine roughness covers the fields and protected areas, particularly on the reverse. There are a half dozen small spots of shallow verdigris on the reverse. The only notable contact mark is a dull nick on the rim over the U in UNITED. MDS, Breen state V, with die cracks on the reverse and swelling at O in ONE and CE in CENT that weakens those letters. The date is strong and the remainder of the legends are clear. Our grade is net F15. The attribution and Norman Stack-Halpern-Ellsworth provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $1,000 - UP
