Lot 53
1794 S-24 R1 Date Altered to 1793. Attractive frosty chocolate and olive brown with puffs of lighter brown on the reverse. Looks like this was a very nice example of the S-24 die variety grading at least VF20 before someone decided to make it into a 1793. The last 2 digits of the date were rather crudely changed to 93, and additional strengthening was done to the hair, ear, dentils on both sides, and ONE CENT. None of the work was done with great skill. Shame! Estimate Value $100 - UP
