Lot 486
1811 C-2 R3. VF-20. Rather glossy steel brown and chocolate with traces of lighter brown in protected areas on the reverse. No corrosion or verdigris. Perhaps the sharpness is closer to VF25 but there are a few too many tiny contact marks scattered about for the higher grade. MDS, Manley state 2.0. Fine parallel die lines cover the fields on the reverse and clear die clashmarks are visible along the back of the head. A bit softly struck on the left edge of the reverse, as usual, while everything else is well struck. A decent example of this tough date. Removed from an NGC slab graded VF35 (NGC label included).
Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000.
Ex Heritage 8/07:68.
