1803 S-253 R2 Small Date and Fraction F15. Ten points sharper but there is a light scratch in the field from below the chin to above the bust tip. The scratch is not distracting and blends perfectly into the attractive glossy medium chocolate brown toning. The surfaces are mostly smooth but a glass reveals extremely fine roughness in some of the protected areas on the reverse. LDS, Breen state VI, with a strong cud break at 180 extending well to the left below the lowest curl. Tied for CC#4 of those known with the terminal cud break. Estimated Value $700 - UP
