Lot 58
1808/7 C-2 R3 Overdate 8 over 7 PCGS graded XF45. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with frost in protected areas. Looks nearly flawless to the unaided eye but a glass reveals fine scratches that cover the portrait. The marks are old and lost in the natural toning so the eye appeal of this piece is excellent. Nicely struck E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early, with a fine die crack through the tops of ERTY into the field to the right. The overdate feature is obvious. Our grade is VF35, sharpness net VF25. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Estimated Value $2,000 - UP
