LOT 218 1800 S-199 R-4 AG3+. G4+ but there is digs and dents on the central areas of both sides. Medium to dark chocolate brown surfaces. TDS, Breen state IX late with a strong rim cud break partially obscuring F in OF and obvious swelling on the reverse obscuring the central legends and D STA.

LOT 216 1800 S-199 R-4 VG8. VG8+ but recolored and now mostly olive and steel with underlying faded red and iridescent blue steel and sea green tones. Trivial marks in the fields, hairline scratches behind the lowest curls the most notable. E-MDS, Breen state III early, struck ever so slightly off center toward K-5. Smooth, hard surfaces.

LOT 219 1800 S-200 R-3 VG8. A couple points sharper but there is a fresh pin scratch through the hair and cheek, and the surfaces have been recolored a dark brown and bluish steel. Only the most trivial of marks otherwise on smooth, rather glossy surfaces. LDS, Breen state IX. Graded VG10 by Noyes, his photo #38315.
