Lot 849
1799 S-189 R2 VG8. Very attractive glossy medium chocolate brown. Smooth surfaces that are void of any hint of corrosion or verdigris. Only trivial contact marks. A small nick on the base of the numerator is the best identifying mark, and it is barely visible. MDS. The date and LIBERTY were both properly struck up, which is often not the case for this variety, and the dull lump under E in ONE is present. The bottom edge of the date is fading into the rim below, but the remainder is strong and the legends are clear. A nicely balanced, very attractive example for the grade.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
