Lot 519
1794 S-41 R3. VF-25. Lightly cleaned and retoned light olive and steel brown with delicate overtones of light bluish steel on the obverse. There is a small spot of very light verdigris on the leaf tip right of the E in ONE and traces of shallow roughness around the left side of the knot on the wreath ribbon. These defects are trivial and the eye appeal of this piece is quite nice. Nicely struck MDS, Breen state V, with well balanced details on both sides. The die cracks on the reverse are clear. The edge lettering is slightly blundered on this example reading ONE HUNDREDFOR A DOLLAR. The reverse is rotated 25 degrees CCW. Called VF30 net VF20 and tied for CC#15 in the Noyes census, his photo #30909.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
Ex Harry Tileston-R. S. Brown, Jr., Superior 9/30/86:55-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:689.
