Lot 145
1794 S-41 R3 PCGS graded VF35. Frosty steel brown and chocolate with lighter brown in protected areas on the reverse. Smooth and quite attractive. A very light rim bruise left of the lowest curl and another left of the cap are the only notable marks, and they are barely visible. Scarce EDS, Breen state I, with an uncracked reverse. Only 3 with an uncracked reverse are graded higher in the Noyes census, and the finest of those in in the ANS. The reverse is slightly misaligned to K-1.5 causing weakness at ES-OF-A but everything else is nicely struck. Graded VF20 net F15 by Noyes, his photo #37294. Our grade is F15+, close to VF20. The attribution and Trollan provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 5 finer for the variety. Estimate Value $1,750 - UP
Ex 1999 EAC Sale 4/1999:140-Dan Trollan Collection.
