Lot 37
1794 S-19a R5+ Head and Edge of 1793 G4. Rather glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. The surfaces are decent but a glass reveals microscopic roughness in the fields and protected areas, particularly on the reverse. No verdigris, and the only notable mark is a nick under the E in AMERICA. EDS, Breen state I, before die failure in the field near the rim under the cap. The date is weak but the upper half of the 179 is easily readable and most of the legends are reasonably clear. The edge lettering is complete and clear and the down-turned leaf following DOLLAR is strong. Graded G6 sharpness net G4 by Noyes, his photo #35742. Estimate Value $2,500 - UP
