1797 S-121b R3- Gripped Edge, Double Struck F12. Sharpness EF45 but lightly corroded and there is a patch of shallow reddish verdigris behind the head. Frosty blend of dark steel and olive mixed with lighter brown and reddish chocolate. The mix of tones on the obverse is not very attractive but the toning on the reverse is more uniform and that side offers far better eye appeal. Sharply double struck with a rotation of 10-15 degrees between the impressions. The date reads "179797" with portions of the extra "97" on the bust of Ms Liberty. Additional doubling is visible on the devices and legends on both sides. The date and legends are strong and the grip marks on the edge are clear.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Lawrie Rhoads collection.


 
Realized $863
