Lot 405
1794 C-1b R6 Small Edge Letters F12. Sharpness VF35 but dark and covered with uniform fine roughness. No verdigris and the only notable marks are a small nick on the truncation over the 94 and a few tiny rim nicks over BERT. Slightly glossy dark olive. Nicely struck with a full date and legends. Extremely rare LDS, Manley state 2.0, with obvious swelling at the top of the wreath. A condition census example of this very rare variety, and it comes with a nice provenance. Value $5,000 - UP
