Large outlined numeral X counters flanking central obligation in oval with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA encircling. Heavy geometric lathe details make up the balance of the print. Both pieces are in near Gem condition and offer remarkable eye appeal. We could not find any records of a face proof of this Legal Tender design selling publicly.
