1793 C-3 R3 VG7. Sharpness F12 or slightly better but there is fine roughness under a rather glossy dark olive and steel brown patina. No verdigris. The notable marks are a strong rim nick opposite the neck and a thin planchet fissure (as struck) near the dentils at K-3 on the obverse. The date is strong and the legends are complete although a couple letters are weakened by the roughness.
Estimated Value $1,200-UP.
