Lot 270
1806 C-4 R1 Large 6. AU-55. Lustrous chocolate brown with lighter brown in protected areas and hints of light bluish steel overtone. There is a small swipe of darker olive toning in the field over the hair ribbon and another at ITE in UNITED, and both of these darker areas show microscopic traces of very fine verdigris dusted onto the stain. Otherwise just a few trivial ticks on the neck and bust from mint state. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CW and the repunching on the 6 is sharp. Most likely a piece from the hoard of mint state examples disbursed by the Chapman brothers beginning in 1906.
Estimated Value $750 - 950.
