Lot 227
1799 S-189 R2. NGC graded VF-20. Attractive glossy medium chocolate brown. No corrosion or verdigris, only numerous small contact marks, none distracting but too many to ignore. A thin diagonal nick on the bottom of the second 9 and a dull nick under the second T in STATES are good identifying marks. E-MDS, Breen state II. The chip under the E in ONE is weak but visible. The bottom of the date is relatively weak thanks to the non-parallel die faces associated with this die state but the rest of the date is clear and the legends are strong. Our grade is F12+ sharpness net VG10. A decent example of a variety that is difficult to find without significant defects.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
