Lot 2042
1805 C-3 R4 Small 5 with Stems. Fine-15 Plus. Sharpness VF30 with very fine granularity covering the fields and protected areas. No verdigris or marks other than a shallow rim bruise right of the Y in LIBERTY and a tiny rim nick left of the upper part of the hair ribbon. Slightly glossy dark steel and olive with lighter steel brown highpoints. The date and legends are complete and strong except for the usual weakness at HA and CE inside the wreath. LDS, Manley state 2.0, with strong swelling in the field before the face. A sharp example of this popular "Redbook" variety, and the eye appeal is decent in spite of the imperfect surfaces.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
