Lot 221
1806 C-4 R1 Large 6 with Stems EF45. Slightly Off Center with Misaligned Dies. Very attractive lustrous olive brown and chocolate with a couple thin wisps of lighter brown toning on the reverse. Great eye appeal for the grade. The only mark is a tiny planchet flake in the dentils over the D in UNITED. Very little if any wear shows on this piece, but the usual soft strike on the bust tip and opposing wreath under TATE makes assigning a higher grade difficult. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. The repunching on the 6 is strong and the reverse is rotated 45 degrees CW. The dies are slightly misaligned and the strike is a bit off center, but the legends remain comfortably on the planchet. Davy #06.4.10.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
