Lot 34
1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0 with Reverse of 1803 VG7. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown with smooth, corrosion-free surfaces. Would grade a point or two sharper but the planchet is slightly wavy from being bent and carefully straightened. A shallow depression in the field at the top of the bust and a subtle swell in the field behind the portrait offer the best evidence of the bend and straightening. Otherwise this piece is choice. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. Small lumps from die rust are visible between the I & B in LIBERTY and the curl left of the date is complete. The date and legends are strong and the 2 over 0 overdate is bold. Noyes photo #73617. Weight 80.0 grains.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
