Hello, Up for your consideration is a highly collectible,early antique deck of Congress 606 Playing Cards featuring the scarce “Berenice” back design.This specific deck features the rare,un-censored/un-veiled variant showing Berenice in a long flowing gown with one breast exposed.This is a complete deck 52/52 (Note:Decks from this early era were issued without a standard modern Joker).Cards are in NM condition,cards lie completely flat and have been exceptionally well preserved.Brilliant,bright gold gilt edges “as new” or nearly so.Housed in its original two-piece slipcase box.The box is 100% structurally sound with no split corners.Retains a partial 2-cent revenue tax stamp,dating the deck to turn of the century (1898-1902).There is some light/moderate soiling,surface age toning on slip case picture as expected with a 125 year old piece.Please review pictures and message me with any questions.Deck carefully packaged and shipped USPS Ground Advantage with tracking.Cards signed by Falero,LR.Thanks
