Ralph Rucker Collection Fixed Price Pt II

S-274/S-275



LOT 379 1807 S-274 R2 Small Fraction VG7+ Very slightly sharper but there is a small patch of minor roughness at the ends of the hair ribbon, a pitmark close over the bust tip, and a thin nick behind the head. Otherwise smooth and attractive for the grade. Slightly glossy chocolate and steel brown blending to darker olive brown in protected areas. M-LDS, Breen state IV, with strong swelling that obliterates STA. $200

LOT 380 1807 S-275 R3 Large Fraction VF30 Slightly sharper with two small spots of light corrosion and verdigris: one at the E in LIBERTY and another under the first S in STATES.

Graded VF30 and tied for CC#12 in the Bland census. Comes with a nice provenance. $1,500
