1804 C-3/5 R7 Without Spike From Chin F12
1804 C-3/5 R7 Without Spike From Chin F12. Glossy dark steel brown and chocolate. The surfaces are smooth, void of any hint of corrosion or verdigris. There is a faint hairline scratch hidden in the drapery folds over the 4 and some extremely faint hairlines on the highpoints of both sides. A tiny nick on the truncation above the 8 is a good identifying mark. Very nice for the grade in spite of the faint hairlines, close to F15. Well struck and the "spikeless" chin feature strong. Equal to the second finest known of the "Spikeless Chin" version of C-5 in the Spurlock census; far superior to the Breen plate coin. Plated in the Manley book to illustrate the variety and his die state 2.0. A highlight of any collection that emphasizes die states. Davy #04.3.2.
Estimated Value $6,000-UP.
