Lot 149
1796 NC-1 R6 Draped Bust. VG-7. Sharpness F12 but there are a couple rim bruises at the top and bottom of both sides. The surfaces are mostly smooth but do show extremely fine roughness in the fields and protected areas. No verdigris, and the minor roughness is effectively offset by a somewhat glossy steel brown and chocolate patina. Decent eye appeal for the grade, although the rim bruises are an obvious distraction. EDS, Breen state I, without any clashmarks or die cracks on the obverse. Called VG10 net VG7 by Noyes and tied for CC#5 in his census, photo #35691. DWH #3260.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
