Lot 512
1794 S-30 R1. VF-20. Glossy chocolate and steel with a half dozen small spots of slightly darker olive brown toning sprinkled over the obverse. The surfaces are smooth except for a patch of extremely faint roughness in the field under the chin and another at the left top of the L in LIBERTY. A hairline scratch on the throat and a tiny rim bruise under the 17 in the date are the notable signs of contact. Possibly lightly cleaned long ago but the toning is attractive and the eye appeal is nice for the grade. The date is bold and the legends are strong. LDS, Breen state IV. The die crack through R in AMERICA is strong and the obverse die clashmarks are bold.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
Ex Dean Johnson 4/76-Fred H. Borcherdt 3/95.
