Lot 319
1805 C-3 R4 Small 5 with Stems G6. A couple points sharper but the rim was shaved at the bust tip and lightly tapped all around using a sharp tool to add crude reeding for no good reason. Retoned glossy dark olive brown and bluish chocolate with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. The planchet is mostly smooth but there are a few specks of shallow verdigris or planchet scale on the reverse, and these are visible only with the aid of a glass. The date and legends are strong except for the usual weakness on HA and CE in HALF CENT. LDS, Manley state 2.0, with strong swelling in the field before the portrait and the reverse rotated 20 degrees CW. Davy #05.3.8.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex Paul Munson-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/1992:221.
