Lot 1331		1807 S-271 R1 "Comet Obverse". VG-10 Plus. Very close to F12 but there are a few minor rim nicks on both sides, none significant but too many to ignore. Otherwise the surfaces are quite attractive showing only a few trivial contact marks and no hint of roughness. Frosty steel brown and chocolate.

Not perfect by any stretch, but certainly one of the better detailed examples of this rare and extremely popular "Redbook" variety. EDS, Breen state I. Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000.
