Lot 90
1809/6 C-5 R1. AU-58. Overdate 9 over 6. The obverse is frosty medium chocolate with lustrous tan faded down from mint color covering the protected areas. The reverse is dominated by lustrous tan faded from mint color while the highpoints are medium brown. The only marks are a thin swipe of darker olive brown toning at the dentils outside stars 6 & 7 and at S-OF on the reverse. Very close to mint state. Nicely struck E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. The 9 over 6 overdate feature is bold (although this may be a 9 punched over an inverted 9, but that's an academic exercise for another day).
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
Ex Tom Reynolds 7/2004.
