L&M-463; K-184; KM-Y-71a; WS-0635. Boldly struck and lightly handled, the evidence of cleaning on this minor's surfaces has largely been hidden by the marvelous and awe-inspiring rainbow toning that hugs the peripheries and even spills into the centers. An eye-catching piece, even as a details example.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
