LOT 78 1794 S-66 R5 VG7 Several points sharper but there is an old vertical scratch from the L in LIBERTY into the cap and a light rim bruise at the T in LIBERTY. The planchet is covered with fine roughness mostly hidden under rather glossy dark chocolate brown and steel toning. No verdigris. The date and legends are complete and clear. MDS, Breen state III. The die crack from the pole to the dentils is strong. $4,750
