1806 C-3 R6 Small 6 with Stems VG10. Choice glossy chocolate with lighter brown toning in the protected areas and a small splash of darker olive brown toning at the C in AMERICA plus an even smaller one under that ER. The notable marks are a tiny scratch at the left top of the T in LIBERTY and a fine diagonal hairline scratch through the leaves on the right top of the wreath. Extremely rare M-LDS, Manley state 2.0 late, with a slightly raised retained cud break over ICA. One of only two known with the raised retained cud. Plated in the Breen book to illustrate his die state II. A beautiful example of an extreme rarity. Tied for CC#7 in the Spurlock census. A highlight of this important offering of half cents.
