Lot 443
1797 S-127 R4 G4+. The obverse is slightly better while the reverse is weaker. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate. The only mark is an obvious rim nick just left of the first A in AMERICA. Very late die state, Breen VI, with vertical die cracks in the fields on both sides of the portrait and obvious swelling at D-STATES and F-A. Called G5 by Del Bland. Comes with a nice provenance for such a modest-looking cent.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
