Ralph Rucker Collection Fixed Price Pt II

S-125/S-126



LOT 165 1797 S-125 R5 G5 Five points sharper but a bit scruffy. There are patches of minor corrosion on both sides, a pair of dull scratches in the hair under the ribbon knot, a dull dent on the ends of the ribbon, and flattening on the rim behind the portrait. On the plus side of the equation the date and legends are complete and clear. Medium steel and light olive brown. MDS with the usual obvious swelling at the 97 and bust into the field opposite the chin. $300

LOT 166 1797 S-126 R3 VG7 Sharpness F12 or slightly better but there are myriad fine scratches on the obverse, mostly on the portrait. The reverse is essentially void of marks showing only trivial ticks. No corrosion or verdigris. The color is an attractive glossy light chocolate brown. M-LDS, Breen state V, with strong die cracks on the obverse and a weaker one on the reverse. The date is bold and the legends are strong. $300
