Lot Description

A superb example, with even slate-blue toning over surfaces that are partially prooflike; the devices are frosted. A remarkably well-preserved example, with one or two hairlines visible under magnification. One of the finest known specimens of this exceptionally rare date, with greater eye-appeal than the splendid Simpson piece sold in 2016.
