详细说明: Lot 137 1794 S-36 R5 PCGS graded VF35.Frosty dark olive brown and steel. The surfaces are satiny and nearly flawless. No verdigris and the only notable marks are a thin nick in the field right of the Y in LIBERTY and a very tiny planchet flake at a dentil tip just right of the end of the pole (as struck). Sharply struck and quite attractive in spite of the relatively dark toning. MDS, Breen state III, with light die clashmarks on both sides. Graded VF25 and tied for CC#5 honors in the Bland census. Noyes says VF30 net VF25 and tied for CC#4, his photo #25269. Our grade is VF25 as well. A very nice example of a rare die variety. And it comes with an impressive provenance.
