Lot 320
1794 S-63 R2 F12. Sharpness near VF30 but covered with very fine roughness. Tiny specks of shallow verdigris can be found on both sides but they are not distracting. Slightly glossy dark steel and olive brown with slightly lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I, before any die clashmarks. The date, lips, and tip of the nose are clearly doubled and the reverse is rotated 25 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. A decent if imperfect example of the "Fallen 4" die variety. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
Ex Goldbergs 2004.
