1799/8 S-188 R4 Overdate 9 over 8 G6. Very slightly sharper, especially on the portrait, but the surfaces are covered with very fine roughness on all but the highpoints, which are smooth. No verdigris. The only marks are a small rim nick opposite the tip of the nose, a scratch or planchet fissure that skips along from the wreath ribbon bow to the rim over E in AMERICA, and a fine scratch below UNI. The date is easily readable even though the bottoms of the digits are starting to fade into the rim below. The legends are complete and easily readable as well although a couple letters are getting weak. Dark olive and steel with lighter chocolate brown toning on the highpoints.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
