Lot 153
1804 C-6 R2. VF-20. Spiked Chin. Sharpness VF35 but the obverse was smoothed, mostly in the field before the portrait to remove scratches. Recolored glossy dark steel and olive with splashes of reddish chocolate on the reverse. The reverse has fine roughness hidden under the glossy patina, but there is no verdigris. Looks better than it sounds, but it's far from perfect. MDS, Manley state 6.0, Braig state 4.0, with a cud break connecting MERIC to the rim above. Another rare die state represented in this outstanding collection.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
Ex Tom Reynolds 10/5/89.
