Lot 573
1796 S-89 R3. VF-20. Liberty Cap. Sharper by at least 5 points but the surfaces are covered with extremely faint roughness visible only with the aid of a very strong glass. No verdigris. Only a few notable marks, including a small rim nick at the T in UNITED and another tiny one over the second S in STATES. Nicely struck E-MDS, Breen state II early, with minor die crumbling on the tip of the nose and on the lips. The date is bold and the legends are strong. Called VF20 and tied for CC#9 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF30 net VF20 and tied for CC#5, his photo #23180.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
