1800 S-198 R5+ G6
A tale of two coins. The obverse is horrible with nice color but rough surfaces. The reverse is smooth and attractive with only minor roughness along the dentils at S-OF-A. Nicely recolored glossy light to medium chocolate brown with some lighter brown in protected areas on the reverse. M-LDS with die cracks on the reverse but no rum cud at ER in AMERICA. Graded VF25 net G6 and tied for CC#9 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF20 net G5, his photo #38737. Comes with a very nice provenance.
