1804 S-266c R2 VG8. Glossy light chocolate brown and steel. No roughness or verdigris and only a few minor marks. The most notable mark is a small planchet fissure on the rim left of the L in LIBERTY and this void extends through to the rim at TE in UNITED. The other notable marks are a rim nick left of the first S in STATES and a pinprick near the dentils left of the lower curls. LDS, Breen state IV, with strong cud breaks at RTY and MERIC. A nice example of this tough date.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
