1797 S-122 R5+. PCGS graded Good-4.
Slightly glossy
dark chocolate brown and olive with lighter steel brown
and chocolate toning on the devices. The surfaces are
slightly dull thanks to a layer of uniform extremely faint
roughness. There is a small area of very fine pitting at F-A
but no verdigris. The only mark of note is a dull vertical
planchet void at the upper edge of the bust. Rare LDS,
Breen state V, with a cud break connecting the top of
the M in AMERICA to the rim above. The date is clear
and the legends are easily readable except for weakness
inside the wreath.
Our grade is G4+
. The attribution and
Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label.
Pop 2; 2 finer at PCGS for the variety, 1 in 15 and 1 in 20
