Lot 393
1800 S-208 R3. VF-20. Noyes Plate Coin. Sharper by at least 10 points with extremely fine granularity covering both sides, strongest in the fields and protected areas. A dull, light scratch shows in the field over the bust tip and an even fainter one slants down the cheek fading out in the upper part of the neck. LDS, Breen state IV early, with a rim cud break at TY extending to the right plus a smaller rim cud break opposite the mouth. The cud over TY is not yet in its terminal state as a small section at the top has not broken away completely. This is the Noyes plate coin for the late die state. He calls it VF35 net F15 and tied for CC#12, his photo #24275. Comes with a long pedigree of highly respected collectors. DWH #2503.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
