1804 C-7 R4 Spiked Chin VF20. Sharper by 10 points but there are numerous contact marks scattered over both sides, especially on the obverse. The most notable of these are a group of shallow, very dull marks in the field over the bust. The surfaces are smooth except for a small spot of slightly raised light olive verdigris under the first S in STATES. Rare E-MDS+, Manley state 4.0, with a faint die crack through the top of ATE to the rim above the adjacent S. The "Spiked Chin" feature is clear.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
