LOT 75 1794 S-64 R5- Missing Fraction Bar Variety VG8 Sharpness F15 but there is a dull dent on the E in CENT that caused a subtle bulge in the hair left of the cheek. The planchet is covered with very fine roughness under glossy dark chocolate brown toning with lighter brown on the highpoints. No verdigris but there are faint hairline scratches hidden in the toning on both sides. Late die state, Breen V, with a strong die crack through the D in UNITED and a fine die crack from the dentils to the right side of the M in AMERICA. The date is clear as is most of the legend. The Missing Fraction Bar feature is visible but not strong (the fraction is always relatively weak due to excessive die polishing that removed the bar). $2,200
