 1796 Browning 2 (R-3). High 6, TY do not touch. Fine, but very slightly bent. There is a small area of uneven wear on the right side of the reverse above 'ME' of AMERICA and another above 'ST' of STATES. Lovely dark gold and gray toning in the fields combines with lighter silver on the devices to enhance the design elements. Clean surfaces for the grade, with no detracting nicks or scratches. Furthermore, no adjustment marks are present. A thoroughly satisfying example for this rare issue, which boasts a meager mintage of just 6,146 pieces. This is the more available of the two known varieties, neither of which is attainable without searching and patience.
