Lot 150
1794 S-69 R3. VG-8. Blundered Edge Lettering. Several points sharper but the planchet is very slightly bent causing uneven wear on the reverse. Weakness extends from ST in STATES diagonally across to IC in AMERICA. The surfaces are covered with minor roughness, strongest in the field under the cap and right of the Y in LIBERTY. No verdigris or notable contact marks. Slightly glossy chocolate and olive mixed with some lighter chocolate shades on both sides. The date is bold. The edge lettering is blundered reading "ONE HUNDRED A DOLLAR" (the Castaing machine was not properly reset to the starting position before adding the edge letters to this planchet).
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
