1794 C-4a R3 Small Edge Letters VF25. Sharpness EF40 but there is a very subtle dent under the M in AMERICA that caused an equally subtle bulge in the field above the end of the pole. Otherwise the only marks are a tiny chip out of the rim over the B in LIBERTY and another in the field left of that L. Very nicely recolored glossy dark chocolate brown and olive. This piece offers excellent eye appeal in spite of the imperfections. EDS, Manley state 1.0, prior to the die clashmarks on the obverse. The reverse is rotated 15 degrees CCW. Plated in the Manley book to illustrate his die state 1.0. Noyes photo #73638. Weight 103.4 grains.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
