 1799 B.8 (R-3). About Uncirculated. Steel gray surfaces display some areas of icy blue toning. An early 'H' countermark was applied in the field between the central hair curls. The significance of this counterstamp is unknown to us and is perhaps lost to history. The strike is bold, allowing for the minute details such as the eagle's feathers to be quite clear. Some mint lustre is confined to the protected areas of the devices. A wonderful coin that is both attractive and intriguing.
