Lot 49
1794 S-30 R1. VF-35 Plus. Five points sharper with a light rim bruise opposite the forehead and a smaller one under the 7 in the date. The planchet has smooth, choice surfaces except for a few tiny planchet chips, as struck, at OF due to the relatively weak strike in that area, plus a small greenish pitmark on the right foot of M in AMERICA and another in the dentils over that C. Choice glossy medium brown and chocolate with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. M-LDS, Breen state III. The die crack through the R in AMERICA is stronger and multiple die clashmarks show on both sides. Outstanding eye appeal in spite of the minor defects.
