Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1794 S-47 R4 F12. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate with darker chocolate toning in the most-protected areas. The highpoints are perfectly smooth while extremely faint granularity covers protected areas. No verdigris or notable marks. A spot of darker chocolate brown toning near the hair under LI is the best identifying mark. Nicely struck EDS, Breen state I. Both dies are unbroken. The date and legends are complete and strong. Nice for the grade. Removed from an NGC slab graded VF20 (NGC label #3313110-004 included, and it shows the attribution).
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
