Lot 258
1797 NC-5 R6. Good-6. A point or two sharper but the fields are covered with very fine roughness that’s mostly hidden under a rather glossy light olive and steel brown patina with traces of darker olive and reddish brown toning in some of the protected areas. No verdigris, and the only contact marks of any significance are an old scuff at AT in STATES and a couple dull nicks in the wreath below ITE in UNITED. The date and legends are complete. EDS, Breen state I, before the die crack at RTY. Called G6 and tied for CC#12 in the Bland census. Noyes calls this one G6 net G4 and tied for CC#15, his photo #26633. Removed from an NCS slab graded VG details environmental damage (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #3169.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
Ex Robert C. Sheffer (Glenville Coin) 2/84-James E. Long 3/7/84-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19353-Chris McCawley 5/06.
