Lot 172
1797 C-2 R3 VG8. Attractive glossy steel and chocolate. Smooth with only trivial contact marks, including a tiny dig just left of the numerator. LDS. Swelling at ICA weakens those letters. The date and remainder of the legends are strong. The edge of this piece was carefully and very lightly reeded outside the mint. The tiny edge marks are faint, even under magnification, and would be very easy to miss. Weight 80.1 grains. Davy #97.2.26.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex Superior 2/18/2001:2065.
