Lot 94
1811 C-1 R5+ 4-Star Cud. VF-35. Five points sharper with a light scuff across the cheek into the field to near star 4. There are a couple more fine hairlines on the neck and a collection of brush marks inside the wreath, but overall this is a very attractive example of the rare 4-Star Cud die state of the variety. Frosty chocolate and steel with slightly lighter toning inside the wreath due to the aggressive brushing or cloth wipe in that area. Nicely centered and well struck except for the expected weakness at TED-S, the area opposite the large cud break that had to compete with the cud for the available planchet metal. Just wasn't enough to go around. Terminal die state, Manley state 5.0.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
