Lot 105
1794 S-65 R1. EF-40. Very attractive glossy medium brown and chocolate with a small spot of dark olive toning in the field at the front edge of the throat just above the pole. The only contact mark is a very light rim bruise right of the Y in LIBERTY. The surfaces are choice and traces of frosty mint luster remain in protected areas, especially on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal. LDS, Breen state IX. The obverse and reverse die cracks are strong and the reverse die is shattered causing weakness at ICA. Removed from a PCGS slab graded AU58 (PCGS label included). DWH #3168.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
