Lot 305
1794 C-9 R2. PCGS graded AU-53. Very attractive glossy chocolate and steel with a narrow swipe of slightly darker chocolate toning at the dentils off the bust tip. The surfaces are perfectly smooth except for a patch of microscopic planchet flakes (as struck) near the dentils right of the Y in LIBERTY. The only signs of contact are a dull, barely visible pinprick in the field near the throat and a small nick under the L in LIBERTY. Rare EDS, Manley state 1.0, before the obverse cracked from the cap to the rim. A very nice example. Our grade is EF40.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
