1802 S-241 R1 Stemless Wreath EF40. Ten points sharper but recolored frosty light olive and chocolate brown with peeps of faded artificial red showing in protected areas. Virtually void of marks. A faint diagonal hairline scratch in the field behind the head and a small planchet void right of the D in UNITED are the best identifying defects. E-MDS, Breen state II, with a die crack through the top of OP to the dentils near the adjacent A. The strike is a bit uneven with weakness at the top of the obverse and bottom of the reverse. The Stemless Wreath and Doubled Fraction Bar features are clear.
