Lot 461
1802 S-236 R1. VF-20. Five points sharper with a patch of extremely fine roughness in the field before the face. The remainder of the planchet is smooth, and the minor roughness is hidden under the glossy chocolate and steel brown patina so it has little if any impact on the eye appeal. The toning on the reverse is a bit lighter than the obverse with some frosty lighter brown in protected areas. Only a few light contact marks, including a nick on the top of the I in LIBERTY and a light rim bruise at ED in UNITED. LDS, Breen state VIII, with a cud break connecting the tops of ST in STATES to the rim above. Removed from an NCS slab graded EF details with corrosion spots (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2882.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex George Ramont 2/18/71-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19537.
