A scarce and desirable first-year issue, well-preserved for the grade and an essential piece for any advanced U.S. type set or early copper cabinet. This example is evenly worn with pleasing medium-brown surfaces, displaying wonderful originality. Detail remains strong in Liberty’s hair curls, the cap, and wreath elements, easily supporting the assigned grade. The surfaces are smooth for the type, with no distracting marks, and the overall presentation is highly attractive.
