Lot 392
1800 S-208 R3. VG-8 Plus. Sharpness F12 with many very tiny nicks scattered about both sides and a few short hairline scratches slanting through CEN. None of these marks is distracting, but there are too many for the sharpness grade. Rather glossy dark steel and chocolate brown. E-MDS, Breen state II late, with a retained partial cud break at TY. In addition, there is a small but clear rim cud break opposite the tip of the nose down to opposite the chin, which Breen describes for his state IV. Clearly, this rim cud occurs prior to the large cud break at TY rather than after, but it is seldom visible due to shifts in planchet centering. Another case where the Breen die states need a bit of tweaking. DWH #0230.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
