1796 S-113 R5 Draped Bust F15
Ten points sharper but covered with uniform very fine roughness under glossy dark olive brown toning. No verdigris and the only mark is a small, barely visible nick on the rim over the left side of the E in LIBERTY. M-LDS, Breen state IV, with a strong die crack through the lowest curl and 17. The date and legends are strong. Graded VF25 net F15 and tied for CC#8 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF25 net VG10 and tied for CC#12, his photo #23918. Comes with a great provenance. Ex Howard R.
