Description

NGC 1803 VF 35. V-3, R.6. A small 8 in the date that is equal in height to the 1 identifies this elusive variety, which Breen calls "Very rare...usually in low grades." The reverse of this piece is uncommonly well detailed for a VF. Both sides display a dull steel-gray patina with peripheral accents of golden-rose. Very scarce and one of the higher graded pieces known.
