Lot 618
1795 S-76b Plain Edge R1. Fine-15. Sharpness VF35 but there is a patch of shallow planchet erosion weakening ITED in UNITED plus a couple small spots of raised greenish corrosion on both sides, the largest of these at the fraction. The remainder of the planchet is glossy and attractive, and a small rim bruise at the L in LIBERTY is the only notable sign of contact. Glossy dark olive and steel. E-MDS, Breen state IV early, showing a hint of swelling in the field before the portrait and sharp die clashmarks on the reverse. Struck slightly off center to K-3. Looks better than the assigned grade, especially on the obverse.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
