Lot Description

139.1 grains. Fields are slightly grainy but are worn to a lovely medium brown smoothness. The somewhat irregular shaped planchet is not large enough to completely accommodate the legends, the tops of many letters falling off the flan. A rather choice and eminently pleasing example of the variety, many of which survive in a highly problematical state.
