Lot 407
1794 C-2b R6 Large Edge Letters G6. Sharpness F12 but dark and covered with uniform moderate granularity. No marks or verdigris. Slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel. The date and legends are clear except for strike weakness on the lower part of the reverse (which is common for this variety). MDS, Manley state 2.0, with die clashmarks on the obverse. The large edge letters are complete and bold. Struck with the reverse rotated 30 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. A decent example of this rare variety, at the lower end of the condition census. And it comes with a nice provenance. Value $3,000 - UP
