Lot 146
1797 S-123 R4 VF25. Five points sharper but there is a light scratch well hidden in the hair from the shoulder to right of the ribbon knot plus another over the N in ONE. Otherwise this cent is choice and the eye appeal is outstanding for the grade. Glossy uniform light chocolate brown with smooth, flawless surfaces. Nicely struck MDS, Breen state III, with two dentils fused over the A in STATES and the reverse rotated 25 degrees CW. A premium example of a variety that usually comes either worn out or mint state thanks to the Nichols Hoard. Estimated Value $500-UP
Ex R. J. Rudolph Collection.
