BEAUTIFUL LATE STATE S-18B

LOT 22

1794 S-18b R4 Head of 1793 VF25 Edge device of 1794. Glossy dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning on the devices. The surfaces are nice, almost perfectly smooth and nearly free of contact marks. A barely visible rim nick under the bust tip and another right of the fraction are the notable marks, and they are barely visible. Late die state, Breen V, with strong swelling under ED in UNITED. The date and legends are strong. Graded VF30 and tied for CC#13 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF25 net F15 and tied for CC#18, his photo # 20482 (can’t see why he deducted any points). Certainly one of the finer known in the late die state. Comes with a nice provenance. $27,500 Ex Glen Wallace-Abe Kosoff-Rare Coin Company of America 5/1974:798 (as VF35)-Denis W.
