Lot 176
1794 S-29 R2 VF25. Slightly sharper, especially on the reverse which is always sharper than the obverse on this variety thanks to a high rim on that side, but there are a dozen small, very shallow spots of verdigris on the obverse. These spots are located mostly in the field under the cap and high on the neck. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and very attractive. The reverse is choice except for a single, barely visible speck of verdigris on the ribbon. Glossy light chocolate brown. LDS, Breen state IV. The die crack through the R in AMERICA is clear and there are additional light die cracks in the obverse fields. An attractive example for the grade in spite of the minor distractions.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
