Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1796 S-93 R3 Draped Bust VG8. A couple points sharper, especially on the reverse, but the planchet is covered with microscopic porosity. No verdigris, and the only notable marks are some barely visible hairline scratches hidden in the toning on the portrait and a tiny nick near the rim under the bust tip. Slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown and chocolate highpoints. E-MDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks. The date and legends are complete and clear.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
