1797 S-123 R4 MS60+.
1797 S-123 R4. MS-60 Plus. Glossy steel brown and chocolate, the toning very delicately mottled with the slightly darker toning showing in the microscopic planchet chips that cover much of the planchet, as always seen to some degree on most of these early cents. This planchet is way above average, however, and the fields are prooflike on both sides. No spots or stains, and the only notable mark is a small, very light nick in the field before the eye. (The nick-like mark on the cheek under the eye is in the die and is present on all known examples of this variety.) MDS, Breen state III, the usual Nichols Hoard die state, with two dentils fused over TA in STATES. Sharply struck and very attractive. Excellent eye appeal, very close to choice. Called MS60 "above average" and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #56586. Cracked out of a NGC Holder graded MS-63 BN. DWH #2559.
Estimated Value $7,500-UP.
