Lot 112
1808/7 C-2 R3 Overdate 8 over 7 PCGS graded EF45. Rather frosty medium chocolate brown and steel. The surfaces are a bit dull from a thin layer of natural oxidation. Looks flawless to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals fine scratches that cover the portrait. The marks are old and lost in the natural toning so the eye appeal of this piece is excellent. Nicely struck E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early, with a fine die crack through the tops of ERTY into the field to the right. The overdate is obvious. Our grade is VF35 sharpness net VF25. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 4 finer, 1 in 53, 2 in 55, 1 in 64+ for the variety. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
