S-2 - S-5

LOT 2 1793 S-2 R4+ Chain AMERICA G4+ The obverse is weaker than the reverse, perhaps a net 3/10 split. Overall the sharpness is significantly better but the planchet is covered with fine to moderate roughness. No verdigris or contact marks. The only marks are from a shallow planchet lamination that covers the bottom of the date and the opposing area at the top of NITED. The date is weak but readable and the legends are complete and clear. Slightly glossy dark steel and olive brown, nearly black, with an overtone of greenish patina. EDS, Breen state I. This was the final variety needed for Ralph Rucker to complete his collection of numbered Sheldon varieties. $7,500
