 1798 JR-4. Small 7. Medium 8 (R-4). About Extremely Fine. Blue and gold tones weave in and out of Miss Liberty's hair, with mottled yet attractive rose, blue and golden hues noted in the obverse fields. Glowing silver gray at the central reverse is ringed in wonderful peach, rose and blue tones at the peripheries. Well struck and displaying the usually encountered softness at the very centers of both sides. What must be described as a deep gash runs from the back of Miss Liberty's locks to the midpoint of her neck, and is fortunately very old and no longer fresh and bright. Scarce.
