Lot 30
1796 NC-1 R6- Draped Bust VG10. Sharpness VF25 but covered with uniform fine granularity under rather glossy dark olive brown and steel toning. No verdigris and the only notable mark is a small planchet flake on the cheek left of the nostril. The date and legends are complete and clear. Well struck and nicely centered on the planchet. A new discovery. Not perfect but still one of the finest known of this very rare variety; superior to either of the two examples in the famous Dan Holmes collection. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
