1793 C-4 R3 G4. Slightly sharper but there is an obvious scrape in the center of the reverse, and this scrape alters the toning in that area. The surfaces are decent but not perfectly smooth and there are some fine, old scratches from the cap to the lower curls. Rather glossy dark olive and steel with slightly lighter chocolate toning on the highpoints. The date is complete and easily readable but not strong and the legends are mostly clear.
Estimated Value $1,200-UP.
