^Lot 283 1794 S-67 R-3 Head of 1795 VF30+

1794 S-67 R-3 Head of 1795 VF30+At least five points sharper with a bold strike and great eye appeal, but there are small contact marks on both sides, none significant but too many to ignore. The best identifying defects are a thin nick left of the L in LIBERTY and tiny rim nicks at the second S in STATES and the I in AMERICA. Glossy light chocolate brown mixed with lighter brown, particularly on the obverse. MDS, Breen state III, with fine die cracks and die clashmarks on the obverse. Called EF40 net VF25 and tied for CC#21 in the Noyes census, his photo #25716. Comes with a great provenance that has been traced back well over 100 years.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Lorin G.
