Lot 292
1796 S-118 R5+ Draped Bust PCGS graded VG8. Rather glossy light olive and chocolate brown. A strong glass reveals extremely faint roughness in the fields and protected areas but overall the surfaces are very nice for the grade. No verdigris and the only marks are a very light rim bruise off the lower end of the hair ribbon and a barely visible planchet clip (as struck) over the second T in STATES. LDS, Breen state II, with a rim cud under the left edge of the denominator that fuses more than a half dozen dentils. A nice example of this very tough die variety. Our grade is consistent with the PCGS grade. Estimate Value $3,000 - UP
