Lot 188
1803 S-243 R2 Stemless Wreath with Doubled Fraction Bar VF25. Ten points sharper but lightly cleaned and retoned glossy dark chocolate brown and steel. There is a spot of very fine carbon at ED in UNITED and another at the O in ONE, but the rest of the planchet is smooth. A nick just right of the E in ONE is the only notable contact mark. Sharply struck LDS, Breen state III, with a rim cud break right of the Y in LIBERTY. The Stemless Wreath and Doubled Fraction Bar features are obvious.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
