1797 '97 Rev.- Stems (S-140). NGC VF-25 BN. 1797 '97 Rev.- Stems (S-140). NGC VF-25 BN.
Lot Title: 1797 '97 Rev.- Stems (S-140). NGC VF-25 BN.
Description: Rich leather-brown patina shows decent smoothness in the obverse left field, while the right field has signs of modest, shallow roughness. Overall, the reverse favors better surface quality, with no mentionable roughness at all. The obverse is almost perfectly centered, opposed with a reverse that has barely shifted west, creating a nice wide rim on the right. Nice sharpness at the portrait includes strong linear definition of almost all of Liberty's hair strands. (PCGS# 035951)
