Lot 199
1797 S-140 R1 VF30. Five points sharper, even better in some areas, but there are a couple shallow planchet voids or laminations on the bust and another in the field left of the lowest curls (all as struck). Otherwise this cent is smooth and choice with only a few trivial contact marks. Glossy light olive and medium chocolate brown with a hint of reddish chocolate tone around MERI. LDS, Breen state VIII, showing obvious swelling and weakness across the bust tip and various fine die cracks on both sides including a light die crack from the left top of the N in UNITED to a dentil.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
Ex Chris McCawley 5/2011-William R. Eckberg.
