Lot 36
1794 S-18b R4 Head of 1793, Edge of 1794 VG10. Sharpness VF20 but covered with uniform very fine granularity. No verdigris but a glass reveals myriad fine scratches covering the portrait. Otherwise the only notable mark is a minor rim bruise over the I in LIBERTY. Medium chocolate brown and light olive with a hint of steel overtone. The date and legends are all clear and the edge lettering is strong. LDS, Breen state V, with a strong bulge at ED in UNITED in addition to the earlier bulge in the field under the cap. Estimate Value $8,000 - UP
Ex Stack's 9/2005:451-Jim Neiswinter Collection (lot ticket included).
