Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1796 S-114 R5- Draped Bust VG8. Sharpness F15 but covered with uniform fine roughness mostly hidden under glossy chocolate brown toning with lighter steel brown toning covering the devices. There are faint traces of shallow reddish verdigris on the reverse but overall the eye appeal of this piece is decent. The notable marks are faint hairline scratches covering the portrait plus a few stray hairline scratches on the reverse. None of the scratches is visible to the unaided eye. EDS, Breen state I, before any cracks. The date is bold and the legends are complete, although a few letters on the reverse are relatively weak thanks to an uneven strike.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
