Lot 348
1808/7 C-2 Overdate 8 over 7 VG7. A few points sharper but there are several contact marks on both sides, including a few fine scratches on the bust into the field above and a collection of pinpricks inside the wreath. The surfaces are mostly smooth but a glass reveals some tiny pits at the top of the head. Rather glossy chocolate and light olive brown mixed with some reddish chocolate toning on both sides. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early, with a light die crack through the tops of ERTY. This piece is mentioned in Manley as an example of state 2.0 (JHR:1968). The overdate is clear. Davy #08.2.10.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
Ex R. K. Ivey 1/7/1983-Jack Robinson, Superior 1/29/1989:1968.
