Lot 180
1797 S-121a R7- Reverse of 1796 with Plain Edge Fair-2+. The obverse is at least Good-4 and nearly choice but the reverse is considerably weaker (as usual) and displays a dozen small punch marks on the upper half. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and free of marks. Attractive glossy chocolate brown. The edge is plain (not gripped) and there is no trace of tampering. LDS, Breen state V, with die cracks and obvious swelling behind the portrait that obliterates the hair ribbon. The date and LIBERTY are strong. Nice for the grade in spite of the reverse marks, close to net AG3 overall.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
