Lot 677
1803 C-2 R4 VG7. Slightly sharper, especially on the reverse, but the toning is dark and the surfaces are covered with extremely fine roughness that dulls the natural gloss. Dark steel and olive. No verdigris or notable marks. The date and legends are complete and strong. EDS, Manley state 1.0, prior to any die cracks. A relatively modest example of this tough variety, but it comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Richard Picker 8/1/57-Mrs. R. Henry Norweb, Bowers & Merena 10/12/87:35-Gene Braig. The Norweb lot ticket is included.
