1797 S-126 R3 AU50+. AU-50 Plus. Breen Plate Coin. Choice glossy chocolate brown with underlying frosty mint luster in protected areas. Flawless surfaces with outstanding eye appeal, perfect for the grade. M-LDS, Breen state V. A strong die crack from the rim before the neck extends through the neck well into the hair at left. Called AU55 choice and tied for finest known honors in the Noyes and Bland census lists, Noyes photo #22927. The light wear suggests an AU50 grade, but the outstanding eye appeal could easily justify an additional 5 points. This is the Breen plate coin for the variety (the large photos). DWH #2539.
