Lot 551
1808 S-279 R1. AU-50 Plus. Turban Head. Very attractive frosty steel brown and chocolate with generous amounts of lustrous tan faded down from mint color in protected areas. No roughness or verdigris and only a few trivial contact marks, including a couple tiny nicks high on the neck at the jawline and another just right of star 7. Just a bit of very light wear on the highest points. Great eye appeal, very close to AU55. MDS, Breen state II late. DWH #3550.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
