1800/179 S-193 R4 Overdate 1800 over 179 with Style II Hair. Fine-15. Five points sharper with a couple small, faint traces of shallow corrosion and verdigris on the obverse, mostly in the field at the junction of the neck and bust and in the field left of the hair ribbon. The vast majority of the planchet is smooth and free of any hint of corrosion, and the eye appeal remains quite nice for the grade. Just a few minor contact marks, including a trio of shallow nicks on the cheek and throat and a very light rim bruise opposite the chin. Glossy olive and steel with reddish chocolate toning in protected areas. E-MDS, Breen state II, with a die crack arcing through the fraction bar and UN in UNITED. DWH #3528.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
