Lot 86
1809 C-3 R1. EF-40. Possible Broadstrike. Choice frosty chocolate brown with delicate overtones of light bluish steel in protected areas and faint, microscopic specks of darker toning sprinkled over the fields on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and offer outstanding eye appeal for the grade. The only mark of any consequence is a dull nick at the dentils over star 4. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The rims are wide and flat, characteristics of a broadstruck coin (struck without benefit of a die collar of the proper size). Similar to the 1805 C-1 and C-4 examples offered earlier in this collection, but this is the only broadstruck-like example of 1809 C-3 known to this cataloger.
Estimated Value $300 - 500.
Ex Chris McCawley circa 1986.
