Lot 599
1799 S-189 An electrotype copy with the obverse of S-189 mated with the reverse of S-174 VG10. Five points sharper but there is a group of pits at the rim left of the lower end of the hair ribbon. Glossy medium brown and chocolate with a spot of dark olive containing fine verdigris at ON in ONE. The edge seam is present in several places but there are no traces of base metal showing through on either side. The reverse die clashmarks of S-174 are clear on this example. An impossible die combination, of course. DWH #3067.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
