Early Dates: 1797

1797 S120b 1797 S-120b

1797 S-120b R2 Reverse of 1796 with gripped edge G4. Glossy chocolate and light olive brown. No roughness or verdigris, just a few trivial marks. A small pit or planchet chip on the base of the L in LIBERTY is the only notable mark. The date is clear but portions of the reverse legend are weak. The "Gripped Edge" feature is clear. ex Goldberg Lot 811, 1/31/11.

1797 S-121b R3 Reverse of 1796 with gripped edge G4. The obverse is a couple points sharper while the reverse is weaker, as usual on this variety. The surfaces are decent but a bit dull from extremely faint porosity. No verdigris, and the only mark is a tiny pinprick over N in UNITED. Slightly glossy steel and olive brown. The date is strong and the "Gripped Edge" feature is clear. ex Goldberg Lot 812 1/31/11.
