Lot 502
1794 S-20 R5. VG-10. Head of 1793. Sharpness VF20 or slightly better but the planchet is covered with extremely fine granularity with myriad fine hairline scratches hidden in the natural patina. You can find a few specks of shallow verdigris in protected areas on both sides, but these are not at all significant. A trio of light rim bruises on the bottom of the reverse round out the notable defects. Slightly glossy medium brown and light olive with reddish chocolate toning in the protected areas. The date is bold and the legends are strong. The eye appeal is better than the description might suggest. EDS, Breen die state I, before the bulge in the field to the chin.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
