Estimated Value $400-UP.

1800/79 S-194 R3 Overdate 80 over 79, Style II Hair VG10. Glossy medium chocolate brown delicately mottled with slightly darker olive brown. No roughness or verdigris, only minor contact marks.

1799 S-189 R2 PCGS graded Poor-1 (EAC Basal State-1). Glossy bluish steel and medium chocolate brown. The surfaces are smooth and void of marks, just heavily worn. Choice for the grade. The upper half of the date is clear but the lower half is worn away, and maybe a third of LIBERTY can be made out. Most of the reverse is worn smooth. Our grade is Fair-2 for the obverse but barely BS-1 for the reverse, so our grade is consistent with the slab grade.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
