1794

LOT 54

1794 S-46 R3 VG10 Glossy dark chocolate brown with lighter brown toning on the devices. Smooth and attractive with just a few trivial contact marks. A pinprick under the L in LIBERTY, a thin nick at the tip of the nose, and a small nick on the left edge of the neck are the only notable marks, and they are insignificant. Nicely struck EDS, Breen state I, with a fine die crack to the bottom of the bust. The date and legends are strong. $1,450

LOT 55

1794 S-47 R4 VG10 Several points sharper but covered with fine granularity under glossy chocolate and lighter brown toning. No verdigris and the only marks are a light, very old diagonal scratch in the field before the neck and another slanting through the O in ONE. Neither mark breaks the toning. EDS, Breen state I, with an uncracked reverse. $1,200
