Lot Description

A tropical sunset of orange and gold is ablaze with underlying luster. Smooth, unmarked surfaces befit the lofty grade. A short, dark emanation, lower right of the shield is a “drift mark.” (An annoying tidbit that survived the refining process and was elongated by the rolling machine in the course of preparing planchet strips.) Est. $1,100 to $1,400.
