Lot 315
1794 S-58 R3 VG10. Five points sharper but covered with fine roughness that includes a collection of microscopic pits on the cheek. Lightly cleaned and retoned light olive and steel brown blending to darker olive brown in protected areas. No verdigris or notable contact marks. The date and legends are complete and easily readable. LDS, Breen state III late or IV early. There is a strong die crack arcing through UNIT and the area outside the crack is clearly raised as a retained cud, but that section of the die has not fallen away completely and most of UNIT remains readable. A very interesting intermediate die state not mentioned by Breen. Estimate Value $800 - UP
