Lot Title:
|
1795 13 Leaves. ANACS XF-40.
|
Description:
|
Extremely consistent medium-gold coloration takes on an almost imperceptible tint of chartreuse-green at some viewing angles, and the pattern of light wear can easily be discerned where the surface texture shifts just a bit on the design high points. Virtually the entire field and part of the design elements display slightly pebbly texture, though the aforementioned wear pattern smooths the highest relief details, and a whisper of mint frost clings to each star. Both sides are nicely defined, as light circulation did not really affect sharpness of the major details to any major extent. (PCGS# 008551)
