Lot 362
1800/179 S-193 R4 Overdate 1800 over 179 with Style II Hair. VG-8. Sharpness VF20 with fine to moderate porosity and light corrosion, strongest on the chin and upper edge of the bust. A careful search with a strong glass may locate specks of verdigris in protected areas, but they certainly aren’t significant. There are a few fine hairline scratches hidden in the patina and roughness, but none of the contact marks are notable. The date and legends are strong. Rather glossy dark chocolate brown. Extremely rare terminal die state, Breen state V, with a strong cud break joining the denominator to the rim below. Removed from an NCS slab graded VF details with environmental damage (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). Comes with an impressive provenance. DWH #2874.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
