Ralph Rucker Collection Fixed Price Pt II

S-122



LOT 162 1797 S-122 R5+ G5 Mostly glossy medium brown blending to chocolate brown in protected areas. Mostly smooth but there is a small spot of roughness just right of the numerator in the fraction. There are two old hairline scratches down the portrait and a stronger scratch over NITED. The scratches are all blended into the toning and the eye appeal of this cent is nice for the grade. The date is clear and the legends are easily readable. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks on the reverse (although there may be a faint crack through the top of MERI). Struck slightly off center to K-1. Graded G5 by Del Bland. Noyes says G4 and tied for CC#16, his photo #20369. $950

Ex Del Bland 12/1976-Charles Blood, 1985 EAC Sale, lot 138-Jack H. Robinson, Superior 1/29/1989:231 (as G5) (lot ticket included)
