Lot 49
1805 C-3 R4 Small 5 with Stems PCGS graded VF20. Glossy light olive and steel. The surfaces are smooth and the only notable marks are a dull dent or depression at the upper end of the hair ribbon and a tiny planchet chip in the field before the upper lip. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with obvious swelling in the field before the portrait. More strongly struck on the right sides than on the left sides, as always on this variety (due to non-parallel die faces). Our grade is F12+, in the lower end of the condition census for this tough "Redbook" variety. The Small 5, Stems features are noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $3,000 - UP
