Lot 98
1825 C-1 R3. NGC graded AU-55 Brown. Choice frosty light to medium chocolate brown with satiny luster in protected areas. No spots or stains, only small contact marks and light wear. A tiny scuff in the field just left of the curl over the 5 in the date is a good identifying mark. MDS, Manley state 2.0. The delicate "egg" die clashmark between the bases of F-A is present and the reverse is rotated 40 degrees CW. (Note: This variety comes with many different reverse die rotations suggesting one of the dies was loose. This cataloger has recorded a dozen different rotations for the variety, and more undoubtedly exist.) EAC grade EF40.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
