Lot 49
1805 C-2 R5 Small 5 with Stems PCGS graded G6. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. The surfaces are smooth and nearly free of marks, which is quite unusual for this very tough variety. The only defect is a thin nick under the bust tip. The date is strong and the legends are complete, although HALF CENT is weak, as usual for this variety. MDS showing subtle swelling in the field before the portrait. Our grade is G5+, close to the G6 grade assigned by PCGS. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
