Lot 518
1794 S-38 R5. Fine-15. Sharpness near EF40 but covered with fine granularity under a slightly glossy patina of dark olive and steel with chocolate highpoints. No verdigris, but there is a patch of slightly raised corrosion hidden in the hair left of the neck. The only marks are a few faint hairline scratches on the cheek, but these are very old and blend perfectly into the natural patina. EDS, Breen state II, with two clearly visible lumps (caused by chips in the die) in the field under the cap. Called EF40 net VF20 and tied for CC#6 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF25 net VG10 and tied for CC#14, his photo #25036.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
