1803 S-243 R2+ Stemless Wreath with Double Fraction Bar. Fine-15. Sharpness VF30 but covered with uniform very fine roughness under a glossy dark steel brown and chocolate patina. No verdigris, but there are some tiny pinpricks scattered about both sides, none notable but too many to ignore. M-LDS, Breen state IV. The rim cud break right of the Y extends to the left to cover most of TY, and the cud is clear. Removed from an NCS slab graded EF details improperly cleaned (NCS label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2887.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
