1797 S-141 R4+ VF20.
1797 S-141 R4+. VF-20. Sharpness at least EF40 but covered with uniform very fine porosity under a rather glossy very dark steel and olive patina. No verdigris. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a very tiny rim bruise over the left edge of the E in LIBERTY and a tiny rim nick under the 1 in the denominator. Nicely struck M-LDS, Breen state III. The die crack up through the ribbon end left of the fraction is clear. Called net VF25 by Noyes and Bland. Tied for CC#7 in the Bland census. Noyes has this one tied for CC#5 in his arrangement, photo #28817. Removed from an NCS slab graded AU Details Corroded (NCS label included). DWH #2560.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
