Lot Description

A gossamer blanket of grey and gold toning blankets each side. Full luster rolls through the fields, perhaps less vibrant than others of this lofty grade. There is weakness in the portrait, typical of the die pair. The edge varieties of 1809 hold special interest for today’s registry set collectors. Check your favorite pricing records for confirmation. Est. $2,500 to $3,250.
