Lot 147
1794 S-65 R1. Fine-15. Sharpness VF25 or slightly better but the planchet is covered with uniform microscopic granularity in the fields and protected areas and there is a streak of uneven planchet erosion through the head. No verdigris, and the only sign of contact is a pair of pinscratches from LI extending into the hair at the shoulder. Glossy chocolate and steel brown. Nicely struck MDS, Breen state VI, with die cracks on both sides. The date is bold and the legends are strong. Decent eye appeal in spite of the imperfect surfaces.
Estimated Value $500 - 700.
