Lot 2
1793 S-1 R4- Chain AMERI. PCGS graded VF25. Very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate with lighter brown toning in the protected areas on both sides. No roughness or verdigris, only light contact marks on the obverse. The only notable mark is a nearly horizontal nick on the end of the chin into the field to the right. The reverse is choice. MDS, Breen state III. The usual bulges at the 1 in the date and at the top of the U in UNITED are clear and there are light die clashmarks below the truncation. The date and legends are all clear except for the numerator in the fraction which was softly struck. Another very nice mid-grade Chain AMERI. Our grade is F15. This example was struck on a relatively thick planchet that weighs 216.8 grains, slightly heavier than the 208-grain standard in spite of the wear. PCGS population 2; 8 finer for the variety. Estimate Value $22,000 - UP
