Lot 104
1794 S-65 R1. EF-40. Choice glossy medium brown and chocolate with underlying frosty lighter brown toning in protected areas and steel brown highpoints. Just a few trivial contact marks from flawless. The best identifying marks are a very fine hairline scratch from the middle of the neck into the field over the pole and another that meanders down from the base of E in CENT to the ribbon knot. MDS, Breen state VI, showing additional die cracks on both sides, including one from the dentils to the lower point of the cap. Great eye appeal. Called EF40 in both census lists, and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes hierarchy, his photo #20415. DWH #0085.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
