Lot 65
1800/798 NC-6 R6+ Overdate with Style I Hair Fair-2+. Somewhat glossy chocolate and steel brown with darker olive brown toning in the fields and protected areas. The surfaces are decent for the grade but not perfectly smooth, and there are several old, light scratches on both sides, especially on the reverse. The most notable mark is a shallow pit or planchet chip under the E in AMERICA. The date is weak but easily readable and most of the design elements remain visible in spite of heavy wear. This is a difficult variety to attribute but there are enough details remaining on the reverse to differentiate it from the other dies that were used with this obverse. A total of 17 examples are known.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
