Lot 605
"1809" Date altered from 1808 S-279 G4. Slightly sharper, especially on the reverse, but covered with light contact marks, including a few fine hairline scratches in the field before the portrait. Late die state (of the S-279 of course). The second 8 in the date was altered to a 9. The alteration was accomplished with some skill, but not enough to fool a knowledgeable collector. Glossy steel brown and chocolate splashed with olive and reddish chocolate on the obverse. DWH #3382.
Estimated Value $20-UP.
