Lot 186
1798 S-180 R5+ Style II Hair, Small 8 PCGS graded F15. Mostly glossy dark chocolate brown and olive with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are decent and appear perfectly smooth to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals extremely fine roughness in the fields and protected areas on both sides. The notable marks are a tiny pinprick under the left edge of the B in LIBERTY, a thin diagonal nick near the hair left of the eyebrow, and a tiny speck of reddish verdigris on the left foot of the I in AMERICA. None of these defects is visible without the aid of a good glass and the eye appeal is nice. LDS, Breen state V, with strong rim cud breaks at UN and TATE. Graded VG10 net G6 and tied for CC#19 in the Noyes census, his photo #27732. Our grade is F15 sharpness net VG10. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
