Lot 501
1794 S-19b R4. VG-7. Head of 1793 with leaf following DOLLAR pointing up. Sharpness several points better but the surfaces are covered with extremely fine roughness, mostly in the fields while the devices are relatively smooth. No verdigris and only a few minor signs of contact, including a tiny rim bruise left of the cap and a shallow nick on the base of the 1 in the date. Slightly glossy dark chocolate and olive. The date is not strong but it is complete and easily readable. The legends are clear except for significant weakness at STATES OF AMERICA, which was not struck as well as the remainder of the reverse. The edge lettering is complete and clear.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 2,000.
