Lot 301
1804 C-13 R1 Plain 4 without Stems EF40. Cracked Planchet. Slightly sharper but there are some very light rim bruises on both sides plus a dull rim nick at the first S in STATES and another just left of the fraction. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with underlying frosty luster showing through in the fields and protected areas. EDS, Manley state 1.0. There is an obvious planchet crack from the rim off the bust tip extending into the hair over the shoulder where if fades away. The same planchet crack extends from the rim down the left edge of the O in OF into the leaves below. A sharp, attractive example of this simple yet rare type of mint error. Davy #04.13.46.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
