Lot 378
1800 S-201 R5. VG-8. Glossy chocolate and dark steel brown with lighter reddish chocolate toning in protected areas of the reverse. The surfaces are reasonably smooth but do have traces of very fine roughness in a few places, strongest in the field around the date. Only a few light contact marks, including a fine nearly vertical hairline scratch in the field before the chin and a very light rim bruise under the 1 in the date. Overall a nice example for the grade. The date and legends are all strong. MDS, Breen state III. The bulges on the reverse are still faint but the bulge in the field left of the lower curls is obvious. Called VG8 and tied for CC#8 in the Bland census. Noyes says VG8 net VG7 and tied for CC#8, photo #24187. DWH #2798.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
