Fred Borcherdts ANA Sale

EARLY CENTS AUCTIONS



1793 S-3 R3- Chain America G5 . Slightly glossy olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown covering the devices on both sides. Uniform microscopic roughness covers both sides but there is no verdigris. The only mark is a shallow depression in the hair under BE. The date is weak but easily readable and the two-tone appearance accents the devices. Decent for the grade in spite of the imperfect surfaces, and many of the details suggest a slightly higher grade.
