Lot 7
1794 C-2a R2+ Small Edge Letters VF30. Choice glossy olive brown and chocolate. Smooth and very attractive, virtually perfect for the grade. Finding any identifying marks presents quite a challenge; a barely visible rim nick above the lower end of the pole and an equally insignificant rim bruise left of the top of the cap will have to suffice for this purpose. M-LDS, Manley state 3.0, showing strong die clashmarks before the portrait. The reverse is rotated 20 degrees clockwise. A really nice example of this relatively common die variety. Noyes photo #73613. Weight 111.5 grains. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU53 (NGC label included, #672445-001).
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
