Lot 710
1809 C-4 R2 Circle Inside 0 AU55. Mint state sharpness, but there is a trail of five dull pinpricks from the eye down to the bottom of the neck. These small contact marks blend perfectly into the toning and do not catch your eye. Otherwise this piece is lustrous and free of any notable defects. Frosty light steel brown and tan faded to chocolate on the highpoints. Traces of tan faded down from mint color are visible on both sides, and an arc of slightly darker olive brown toning covers the left half of the obverse. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. The "circle inside 0" feature is clear.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
