1803 S-252 R-2 VF30Sharpness EF40 or slightly better but the highpoints on both sides are toned a very dark olive brown and steel while the rest of the planchet is a very attractive glossy light brown and tan. The surfaces are perfectly smooth except for a hint of microscopic roughness on the dark areas at the back of the head, on the cheek, and in the hair at the forehead. The only contact marks are a light, curved scratch near the dentils off the lower end of the hair ribbon and a faint vertical hairline on the cheek. TDS, Breen state VIII, with a bold cud break at the lowest curl and 18. This is the finest example of the TDS known to us.Certificate Number: Pedigree: From the Fred H. Borcherdt Collection
