Description

1794 AU 50. V-3, R.5. A tiny hole has been repaired at the top of the obverse by the R in LIBERTY. The repair work is superb and barely noticed except under close examination. This is a well struck example of the variety, struck with a cracked reverse. All of Liberty's hair strands are well-defined and the overall appearance is exceptional. Attractively toned in steel-blue and deep lilac colorations.
