Lot 125
1794 S-64 R5- Missing Fraction Bar VG10. Sharpness VF25 but covered with uniform fine to moderate granularity. No verdigris, and the only marks are a rim nick under the bust and several faint vertical hairline scratches hidden in the granularity in the center of the reverse. The toning is a decent and very slightly glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. LDS, Breen state V, with a strong die crack through the D in UNITED that passes through the wreath and reaches the C in CENT. The date and most of the legends are clear, but the fraction is weak, as usual on this variety, and the denominator is gone.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex McLaughlin & Robinson Auctions 6/1986:308-Colonel Steven Ellsworth collection 2005-John Koebert (lot ticket included).
