Lot 80
1804 C-7 R4 Spiked Chin F12. Sharpness VF20 but covered with small nicks, none notable but too many for the sharpness grade. Glossy light olive brown with no trace of corrosion or verdigris. Very rare M-LDS, Manley state 6.0, with a strong cud break that connects the tops of OF to the rim and extending to over the right side of the adjacent A in AMERICA. One of about a dozen known in this die state, and many of those are in low grade. The "Spiked Chin" feature is clear.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Bill Weber (who acquired it on 5/21/1968 in Oakland, California; Weber collection envelope included).
