Description

1799 AU 55. BB-166, B-9, R.2. An exceptional example of the variety, with only traces of wear on the highpoints, and deep, original, olive toning mixing with golden color to provide an eye appeal that is way above average for the type. This example is well struck and shows ample amounts of original mint luster. This is the only use of this obverse die, presumably because of the cracks which eventually appeared and ultimately led to this die's destruction. Well-centered and free of any problems. From the Faraday collection, originally purchased by the consignor from Julian Leidman in 1973 for $1750.
