1803 S.246 (R-3). Small Date. Small Fraction. High Numerator. Very Fine-30. Here is a superb specimen of this variety featuring the numerator '1' abnormally high above the fraction bar. Rich chestnut brown surfaces are smooth and glossy and exhibit only a few small circulation marks. A minor, hard to discern verdigris spot is noted around 'TA' of STATES.
Ex Dr. Henderson Collection (Numismatic Gallery, December 1947, lot 575).
