Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1800 S-205 R4 VF20+. Sharpness VF30 but there are some light contact marks scattered over the planchet. The notable ones are a dull vertical nick in the hair under the B in LIBERTY, a minor rim bruise left of the lowest curl, several small pinpricks on the bust, and a few more in the space right of the second S in STATES. Mostly glossy dark steel brown and light olive. MDS, Breen state II. The horizontal die crack from the middle curls is clear but it appears to fade out before reaching the rim, and the die clashmarks in the field before the neck are clear. Removed from an ANACS slab graded VF30 (ANACS label #4140736 included).
Estimated Value $400-UP.
