1803 S-263 R3 F15. Sharpness VF20 or slightly better but covered with extremely fine roughness under rather glossy dark chocolate brown and olive toning. No verdigris and only a few trivial marks. The notable ones are a small planchet flake at the top of the R in LIBERTY (as struck) and a dull rim nick right of the second S in STATES. Nicely struck LDS, Breen state VII, with a cud break connecting the date to the rim below and a strong die crack arcing across the upper left part of the reverse.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
