Lot 644
1797 S-131 R2 Stemless Wreath. Fine-12. Slightly sharper but there is extremely faint roughness that is very well hidden under an attractive glossy chocolate and olive brown patina. No verdigris, and the only marks are a tiny tick in the dentils over the second S in STATES and another in the dentils over the C in AMERICA. The date and legends are complete and clear. MDS, Breen state III. The die break behind the head is bold and a weaker vertical one shows in the field near the rim on the right side of the obverse. The stemless wreath feature is obvious.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
