Lot 3063
1800. "AMERICAI". BB-191; B-11, Rarity 5. PCGS graded VF-30. Popular red book variety. Numerous light adjustment marks and old hairlines on the face, with a small rim bruise over the 6th star. Medium gray with russet brown accents around the main devices. Typical strike definition for this interesting issue, most of Liberty's hair waves show, but with some weakness near the hair and on the curl that overlaps the neck (so-called "lovelock"). The reverse, which has more of a wood-grain finish to it, also has minor weakness in the upper right area of the shield, with attendant marks in the same location. This is the rarer of the two varieties of "Americai", the other being BB-192 (PCGS # 6892) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
