Lot 258
1796 S-111 R5- Draped Bust VF25. Sharpness EF40 or slightly better but covered with uniform fine roughness under slightly glossy medium brown and light olive toning. No verdigris, and the only notable marks are a small spot of very fine corrosion in the field before the nose and a pinprick in the field close before the neck. Sharply struck LDS, Breen state VI, with a few clearly visible die cracks on the obverse. Graded net VF25 in both the Bland and Noyes census lists; tied for CC#3 in the Bland ranking and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes assessment. An important example of this tough die variety, and the die state is neat as well. Estimate Value $3,500 - UP
