1797 S-121b R3 Gripped Edge with Reverse of 1796. Fine-12. Sharpness VF35 or better but lightly corroded, strongest on the reverse. Traces of greenish verdigris are nestled into the protected areas on both sides. The only marks are a very light rim bruise at the C in AMERICA and a few faint vertical hairline scratches in the field behind the portrait, and these hairlines are well hidden in the natural patina. Slightly glossy dark olive. Sharply struck LDS, Breen state V. The die cracks in the field behind the portrait are strong and the grip marks on the edge are bold.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
