Lot 145
1794 S-44 R1 VF20. Sharpness VF35 but there is a sharp rim nick at IC in AMERICA. The surfaces appear smooth to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals extremely fine granularity in the protected areas. The minor roughness is well hidden under the glossy dark chocolate and olive brown patina, and there is no verdigris. Excellent eye appeal for the grade. MDS, Breen state III, with a clear die crack from the rim left of the O in OF to the top of the N in ONE.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
Lawrie Rhoads collection.
