Lot 350
1799/8 S-188 R4 Overdate 9 over 8. About Good-3. Sharpness near F12 but covered with uniform moderate corrosion. No notable signs of contact or verdigris. The final digit of the date is clear while the other three are only partially visible, and the legends are complete, although OF is faint. Dark steel with some chocolate brown highpoints and a few small areas of reddish toning on the reverse. Unique LDS (but not the latest) with a strong die crack arcing down through TY to the rim opposite the nose tip, but the reverse is uncracked. Breen state IV early. An intermediate state not known to Sheldon or Breen. The discovery coin for the die state. Removed from an ANACS slab graded net AG3, and the Sheldon attribution is noted on the ANACS label, which is included. DWH #2214.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
