Lot 147
1811 C-2 R3 Repunched 8 PCGS graded XF45. Glossy light chocolate brown with slightly lighter brown toning on the lower half of both sides. No roughness or verdigris, but there are some contact marks. These include two dull nicks off the bust tip, another on the upper point of star 2, and a collection of nicks at UNITED. None of these marks is distracting but there are too many to ignore at this sharpness level. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with die clashmarks on the obverse. The repunching at the lower left of the 8 in the date is still clear but most of the die lapping lines on the reverse are gone. Our grade is EF40 sharpness net VF35. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 4; 3 finer, 1 in 50, 1 in 62, 1 in 65+ for the variety. Estimate Value $4,000 - UP
