Lot 262
1794 C-1a R3. NGC graded VF-30 Brown. Glossy bluish steel and chocolate with some lighter brown toning on the lower half of the obverse, possibly from a light cleaning. No corrosion or verdigris, but there are some small marks. The notable defects are a thin planchet lamination at the dentils under the 79 in the date, a collection of small nicks on the neck and bust, and more nicks inside the wreath. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with light die clashmarks on both sides. The reverse is rotated 45 degrees CW relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Our grade is VF20+ sharpness net F15. Pop 1; 7 finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
