Rarity Low R.7, PF62

Reverse: Reverse of the 1866 Shield with stars but no rays

Comment:
Judd-573 has two variants, which slightly differ in the arrangement of the stars on the reverse. P-649 shows the star above CENTS pointing between the E and N and between the T and S; while on Pollock P-650 the stars above CENTS point to the E and T in CENTS. This is the Reverse of 1866 and the scarcer of the two variants.

Rich sea-green and rose-brown toning over each side

Provenance/Appearance:
From David Lawrence Auction #1114 / Lot # 2039078
