Lot 516
1794 S-35 R5. VG-8. Sharpness F15 but there are a few areas of fine porosity, including around the date, right of the second S in STATES, and from the second A in AMERICA to the fraction. No verdigris, and the surfaces retain an attractive glossy appearance. There are some old, light scratches on the neck and in the field before the throat, all blending perfectly into the toning. Otherwise there are no notable signs of contact. Mostly glossy chocolate with lighter brown toning in protected areas. The date is complete and the legends are strong. M-LDS, Breen state VI, with strong die cracks on the obverse. The reverse is rotated 45 degrees CW. Noyes graded F12 net VG7 and tied for CC#18, his photo #35194.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500.
