1795 O.119 (R-4). Two Leaves Under Wings. Brilliant Uncirculated and enjoying excellent overall definition....1795 O.119 (R-4). Two Leaves Under Wings. Brilliant Uncirculated and enjoying excellent overall definition. The obverse hair curls and reverse wing feathers are particularly sharp. A blend of deep olive-gray and golden toning somewhat mutes frosty underlying lustre on either side. Closer examination uncovers a hint of granularity at the lower right obverse periphery, as well as at the corresponding area of the reverse. The ''arm's length'' visual appeal, however, remains quite impressive. The vast majority of the known survivors of this die variety grade a mere Very Fine or lower, with full Mint State examples being quite rare.
