Lot 303
1798 S-164 R4 Style I Hair with Small 8. VG-10 Plus. Slightly sharper but there is a lightly abraded spot in the field over the bust tip, the abrasion so light it barely breaks the patina. Several fine parallel scratches down through the bust, another at the top of IBE in LIBERTY, and a few more above ES-OF are visible but offer only minor distractions. No corrosion or verdigris. Glossy bluish steel brown and chocolate. M-LDS, Breen state V, with strong swelling that weakens the date and lowest curl. Strong die clashmarks from AMERICA show near the dentils before the portrait. DWH #3054.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Ferris Stamp & Coin 8/86-John D. Wright 1/18/06-Bob Grellman & Chris McCawley 4/3/06.
