Lot 353
1799 S-189 R2+ Normal Date. Good-6. Slightly sharper but covered with uniform very fine granularity. No verdigris. The only marks of any note are a dull, light nick connecting the upper edges of the two 9's and a small pinprick under the I in AMERICA. The date is easily readable but the bottom edges of all 4 digits fade into the rim below. LIBERTY is strong, as is all the reverse except for TATES, which is faint due to the usual uneven strike. Slightly glossy dark chocolate brown. MDS, Breen state IV, with a thin rim cud break over AM in addition to the earlier one at F-A. DWH #0205.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
