1799 1C --Scratched, Damaged--NCS. VG Details. S-189, B-3, R.2. This position of the 99 in the date is diagnostic for this variety. Chocolate-brown patina covers both sides. Most of the details are clear with the exception of the fraction on the reverse. The surfaces are moderately porous and there are a few thin scratches on each side. A disturbance at the left rim accounts for the "damaged" designation by NCS. MRB AG3.(Registry values: N2998)
