Smooth surfaces showing only a few tiny contact marks, including four dull pinpricks and a tiny scratch in the field just above the bust tip. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0.

Estimated Value $300-UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $400
Lot 413		1803 C-2 R4 VG7. Several points sharper but there are three small patches of corrosion on the reverse, the strongest between the D in UNITED and the adjacent S. The remainder of the planchet is smoother but does show very fine roughness under magnification. The only other notable marks are two sharp nicks left of the peak of the numerator in the fraction. Rather glossy steel brown blending to darker olive brown in protected areas. MDS, Manley state 3.0, with fine die cracks on the reverse but no cud breaks. The date and legends are complete and strong. Estimated Value $100-UP Ex Doug Bird 5/2008. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $153
Lot 414		1803 C-4 R4 VF25. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with a puff of slightly darker chocolate brown toning in the field above the bust tip. Smooth with only a few very light contact marks. The notable one is a hairline scratch from the shoulder to the bust, but you will need a glass to see it. MDS with the usual die clashmarks on the reverse. Struck with the dies in proper head-to-foot orientation. Estimated Value $200-UP Ex McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/2007:2034 (lot ticket included). View details and enlarged photos	Realized $376
Lot 415		1804 C-4 R5 G4. Very slightly sharper but there is minor roughness in the fields and protected areas while the devices are mostly smooth. No verdigris, and the only notable mark is a dull scratch in the field before the eye. Partly glossy chocolate and dark steel brown. The date and legends are complete and easily readable. Estimated Value $300-UP Ex Chris McCawley 4/2010. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $793
Lot 416		1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin NGC graded AU55. Frosty olive brown and dark chocolate. No roughness, only small contact marks. A diagonal nick under the upright of the R in AMERICA can help identify this piece. EDS, Manley state 1.0, Braig state 1.2, with several fine die cracks on the reverse. The "Spiked Chin" feature is strong. Our grade is VF35. The attribution and Reiver provenance are noted on the NGC label. Estimated Value $500-UP Ex Charles Adkins 12/17/1990-Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/2006:19046. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $764
Lot 417		1804 C-7 R4 Spiked Chin G5. A couple points sharper but there is a subtle bulge in the planchet at the end of the chin caused by a nick hidden in the wreath right of the T in CENT. The devices are smooth but the fields and protected areas show fine granularity, mostly on the reverse. Slightly glossy dark olive brown with lighter chocolate toning on the devices. E-MDS, Manley state 2.5, a die state called "Extremely Rare" by Manley. The die crack at OF is clear and it reaches the rim over the adjacent A, but the crack at MER has not formed. The date and legends are complete and clear. Estimated Value $200-UP Ex Doug Bird 5/2008. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $323
Lot 418		1804 C-8 R1 Spiked Chin ANACS graded EF40. Dark steel brown and chocolate with traces of frosty lighter steel brown toning in protected areas on the reverse. No notable marks, but the planchet is a bit dull thanks to a layer of natural oxidation and some dirt. This piece needs a bath to uncover its underlying frosty beauty. M-LDS, Manley state 5.0, with a raised retained cud break at LI. The "Spiked Chin" feature is clear. Our grade is VF35, perhaps a bit higher if given a proper bath. The attribution is noted on the ANACS label. Estimated Value $300-UP View details and enlarged photos	Realized $494
Lot 419		1804 C-9 R2 EF40. Attractive glossy tan and steel brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints and mint luster in protected areas. Sharper by at least 5 points but there are some tiny nicks scattered over the obverse, none notable but too many to ignore. A small spot of darker toning at the base of the Y in LIBERTY is a good identifying mark. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with very fine die cracks at IBERTY. Removed from an ANACS slab graded AU55 (ANACS label #1249556 included). Estimated Value $500-UP Ex Francis X. McGrath, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 1/11/2007:185 (lot ticket included).

Lot 420		1804 C-10 R1 VF35. Clipped Planchet. Glossy steel and light olive brown. Smooth and attractive showing only very light wear on the devices and no significant marks.
