LOT 139 1793 S-1 R-4 AMERI Chain Cent FR2. Slightly sharper on the reverse than the obverse, but there are a couple spots of verdigris and a dig or flaw under NI in UNITED. Steel and olive browns on fairly smooth surfaces for the grade. The date is very weak but can just be made out in hand under a lamp, while the reverse legends are easier to read with a very clear AMERI.  Ex; Phil Hyde
