Lot 138
1794 S-18a R6 Head of 1793 with Edge of 1793 Fair-2. Blundered Edge Lettering. Slightly sharper but covered with fine porosity. Lightly cleaned, now toned bluish steel brown and light olive. No verdigris or notable contact marks. The portrait, LIBERTY, and about half of the reverse legend is visible. The 17 in the date can be made out but the 94 is gone. The edge lettering is clear but blundered and reads "R HUNDRED FOR A DOLLAR" with a large space between HUNDRED and FOR. The downward pointing leaf following DOLLAR is clear. Not perfect by any means but only a handful of this very rare variety qualify for a net grade above this one.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
A new discovery by Rick DeSanctis.
