1797 LM-1 (R-3). 15 Star Obverse. Brilliant Uncirculated, and on the threshold of fully Choice. Stars are placed 8 - 7 on this crisply detailed, largely lustrous obverse, microscopic traces of die rust recall Philadelphia's steamy summers. The reverse is strongly struck at right, becoming softer toward the left, possibly from improper canting of the dies. Lustre is dramatically apparent throughout, enriching both sides of this gleaming Condition Census example of the Draped Bust, Small Eagle type. NGC MS62.
