Lot 285
1798 S-157 R2 Style I Hair with Small 8. AU-50. Sharpness closer to mint state but there is a small swipe of dark olive crud on the upper ends of the hair ribbon. Otherwise the surfaces are an attractive glossy light to medium brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints and underlying frosty mint luster covering the protected areas. No contact marks. LDS, Breen state IV, with both dies heavily rusted and blunted. Noyes and Bland agree on a net grade of AU50, tied for CC#4, Noyes photo #23287. Comes with a nice provenance. DWH #2542.
Estimated Value $7,500-UP.
