Lot 409
1805 C-2 R5 Small 5 with Stems PCGS graded F12. Rather glossy light to medium chocolate brown with hints of lighter reddish brown in protected areas on the obverse. This piece offers nice eye appeal, but the surfaces are not perfect. Sharpness closer to F15 but here are several microscopic spots of very shallow carbon scattered over both sides, mostly on the portrait, and a collection of nicks on the neck. The best identifying marks are a tiny rim nick off the upper edge of the bust and a pinprick under the right foot of the first A in AMERICA. EDS without any hint of swelling in the field over the bust. The date is bold and the legends are clear. Our grade is net VG8. A nice example of this very rare variety in spite of the imperfections, in the lower part of the condition census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Pop 2; 2 finer, 1 in 35, 1 in 50. Estimate Value $5,000 - UP
