Lot 230
1800/79 S-193 R4 Overdate 80 over 79 VG8. Sharpness F12 or a bit better but recolored glossy steel brown and reddish tan, then covered with wax. There is some minor roughness hidden under the wax but overall the surfaces appear to be decent. The notable marks are a dull nick in the field off the chin and a minor rim bruise left of the lowest curl. E-MDS, Breen state II. The die cracks at the bottom of the reverse are clear but there are no cuds. The date is bold, the overdate is obvious to the unaided eye, and the legends are strong. Perhaps worthy of a slightly higher grade without the wax.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
