Lot 95
1811 C-2 R3. EF-40. Glossy chocolate brown, the obverse a shade or two darker than the reverse. Satiny mint luster shows through in protected areas, especially on the reverse. No corrosion or verdigris, only light contact marks, mostly in the field before the portrait. The best identifying mark is a tiny horizontal hairline scratch over the left side of star 3. MDS, Manley state 2.0. The obverse die clashmarks are clear. The left edge of the reverse is not fully struck, as usual on this variety, but the remainder of the details are nicely impressed. A sharp, attractive example of this tough date, at the lower end of the condition census.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
Ex Ray D. Munde-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:292-Gene Braig 10/2004.
