1796 S-115 R3+ Draped Bust. VG-8. A couple points sharper with uniform extremely fine roughness covering the planchet. No verdigris and only a few minor marks, including a pair of closely spaced pinpricks at the upper edge of the drapery over the 6 in the date and a few tiny rim nicks at ME in AMERICA. Slightly glossy olive and steel, the highpoints showing more gloss than the fields, which are close to matte. LDS, Breen state IX early. The cud break at TY is strong and the top of the adjacent R is clearly connected to the cud by a die crack. DWH #3046.
