1798 S-161 R2 Small 8, Style I Hair VF30. Nice glossy medium brown and light chocolate. The surfaces are smooth and there are only a few minor marks, including a faint scratch down the shoulder and a small patch of very shallow reddish roughness hidden in the hair at the shoulder. The only significant "defect" on this piece is the blunt strike on the portrait, which was caused by grease or other debris on the die when it was struck. Otherwise this piece is nearly choice. E-MDS, Breen state IV. The die cracks at TATES-O are clear but there are no cud breaks.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Lawrie Rhoads collection.


 
Realized $460
