LOT 141 1796 S-106 R4+ Draped Bust G4 Some design features are a bit stronger than G4 while others are weaker. The planchet is covered with fine to moderate roughness under slightly glossy chocolate brown toning. No verdigris or notable marks, but not attractive either. The date is weak but easily readable as are most of the legends. EDS (I think). $600

LOT 142 1796 S-107 R5 Draped Bust VG7 A point or two sharper, even more on the reverse, but the surfaces are covered with fine granularity under glossy dark chocolate brown and steel toning. The highpoints are smooth and there is no verdigris. An old scratch in the field below the hair ribbon does not break the toning. The only other mark is a small rim nick over the left side of the N in UNITED. EDS, Breen state I, before the obverse die cracked. The date and legends are complete and strong. Graded VG7 and tied for CC#7 in the Bland census. Noyes says VG8 net G5 and tied for CC#17, his photo #29848. Comes with a nice provenance. $3,250
