Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1796 S-99 R5 Draped Bust G6. The obverse is sharper but the reverse is weaker due to uniform fine to moderate corrosion, the assigned grade an average of the two. No verdigris or contact marks. The only "defect" is a knife rim over MERI, as struck. Rather glossy light to medium chocolate brown blending to darker chocolate in protected areas. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks on the obverse. The date is complete and clear and the legends are readable.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
