Lot 522
1794 S-43 R2. Fine-12 Plus. Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate with steel toning on the highpoints. The surfaces are smooth and very attractive, just a few light contact marks from choice. Close to F15. A tiny rim nick opposite the nose, a couple dull nicks at D-S, and a very light rim bruise over the O in OF are the only notable marks, and they are not at all distracting. LDS, Breen state V late. The die crack through the U in UNITED is very strong and the die is sinking at the right side of the U leaving that letter obviously distorted. A thin but sharp double profile extends from the forehead down to the chin.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
