Lot 103
1794 S-19b R4 Head of 1793, Edge of 1794 NGC graded F12. Rather glossy dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints of the devices. No corrosion but there are traces of verdigris in protected places plus a few marks on both sides. The notable marks are a rather large planchet flake in the field before the nose and a smaller one at the forehead (both as struck), plus a small rim bruise under the 4, a minor rim nick left of the bottom of the cap, and another rim nick over the E in UNITED. The planchet flake before the nose is the only mark that catches your eye. The date is clear and the legends are complete although there is strike weakness on AMERICA. MDS, Breen state I, with the usual swelling in the field below the cap. Our grade is net VG10. Noyes photo #59892. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. NGC population 1; 1 finer in 40 for the variety. Estimate Value $4,000 - UP
