Lot 624
1799 B-8, BB-165. Rarity 3. PCGS graded EF-45. A worldly measure of natural shades of "old silver" gray improves the attractiveness of the wide expanse of open field on both sides. The fields are only lightly abraded for the grade, while the main devices show some wear on the topmost hair curls, cheek, and shoulder areas of the bust, portions of PLURIBUS (which is weak) and the eagle's head and wing tops. The reverse is noted for a die break through some of the upper letters in STATES OF. Pop 1; 1 finer in 53. Only 3 examples graded for the variety at PCGS (PCGS # 40056) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
Ex; Hesselgesser Collection.
