Lot 257
1804 C-9 R2 EF40. Glossy olive and lighter chocolate brown, the obverse a rather mottled mixture of the two tones while the reverse is a more uniform olive brown. The obverse fields are hard and slightly reflective while the worn reverse die (which was used earlier in the C-8 marriage) displays luster from fine radial die flowlines that cover the field outside the wreath. No marks or other distractions. EDS, Manley state 1.0. There is a faint die crack through the top of RTY and another connecting the centers of IBER. Davy #04.9.10.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
