Lot 498
1811 C-1 R4 (as a die state) VG7. Slightly sharper but there are a few light scratches on the bust tip and in the field above plus a couple more faint ones at ES in STATES. The surfaces appear perfectly smooth to the unaided dye but a glass reveals some microscopic granularity in the fields and protected areas. No verdigris and the toning is an attractive and slightly glossy medium chocolate with lighter brown on the devices. Rare terminal die state, Manley state 5.0, with a large cud break that connects stars 1-4 to the rim. A decent example of this very popular die state. Value $650 - UP
