Lot 163
1799/8 S-188 R4 Overdate 9 over 8 VG7. Several points sharper but the planchet is covered with very fine roughness that is partially hidden under rather glossy chocolate and olive brown toning. No verdigris and only a couple trivial marks. The notable ones are a thin diagonal nick on the forehead and a small planchet chip at the right foot of the R in AMERICA. The date is easily readable although the bottoms of the 179 are fading into the rim below, and the overdate feature is visible. The legends are complete. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks on the obverse. A decent example of the very popular 1799 overdate variety.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
