LOT 191 1797 S-143 R5 Stemless Wreath VG10 Five points sharper but there are four dull scratches in the field close over the bust, a shallow scuff that breaks the toning on the lower part of the neck, and a dull scratch along the bottom of LIB. Mostly smooth but there are a couple areas of minor roughness, particularly in the field before the nose. Retoned a rather glossy dark steel and olive brown. MDS. The date is bold and the legends are strong. The Stemless Wreath feature is obvious. $250
