1797 NC-2 R6 VG10+.
1797 NC-2 R6. VG-10 Plus. Sharpness VF20 but covered with very fine porosity, the roughness so minor the surfaces remain rather glossy. No verdigris. The only marks are a dull nick near the dentils left of the hair ribbon, a smoothed pitmark in the middle of the bust, and a small patch of slightly stronger porosity at the base of the 1 in the denominator. A very tiny planchet clip barely affects the dentils behind the head and opposing ones over TE in UNITED, as struck. Slightly glossy chocolate brown. MDS, Breen state II, with a strong rim cud break over D-ST. The date and legends are all bold. Called F12 net VG10 and tied for second finest known in the Noyes census, his photo #20698. Bland says VG10 and tied for CC#2 honors as well. DWH #0139.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
