Lot 425
1814 S-294 R1 Crosslet 4 VF30. Off Center. Sharpness EF45 but covered with extremely fine roughness that’s mostly hidden under a rather glossy very dark olive and steel brown patina. There are microscopic traces of verdigris in a couple of the protected areas, but they are not distracting. A couple short hairline scratches on the bust, a dull nick on the unstruck edge over the back of the head, and a pinprick over the E in ONE are the notable marks. MDS. Struck 15% off center to K-7 leaving the date completely off the planchet. DWH #2487.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
