1804 C-5 R4 Spiked Chin EF40. Very attractive glossy light chocolate brown with darker steel brown and chocolate toning covering the devices and frosty lighter brown in protected areas. The notable marks are a tiny, very light scratch near the rim under the 80, a pinprick in the field under the chin, and a group of microscopic pinpricks under the first A in AMERICA. None of these marks is at all distracting and the eye appeal of this piece is excellent. LDS, Manley state 6.0. An obvious bulge shows at ES-O plus a more subtle one at MER, and a very faint crack extends from the rim to the right center of the M in AMERICA. The "Spiked Chin" feature remains strong. Davy #04.5.7.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
