1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin VG7
1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin VG7. Sharpness F15 but covered with fine porosity on all but the highpoints. No verdigris, only a few light rim bumps on both sides, the notable ones at Y in LIBERTY and ST in STATES. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel with lighter chocolate and steel brown toning on the devices. The date and legends are strong. EDS, but not quite the earliest state, Manley state 1.0. There is a small lump under the first A in AMERICA and a fine die crack through the top of UNITED. The "Spiked Chin" feature is dull but visible. The diameter of this piece is about a half millimeter larger than normal and the rims are wide, possibly the result of more than one strike. Another option is this piece was struck on a planchet that did not have the rims upset (Breen's stage I). Davy #04.6.17.
Estimated Value $100-UP.

Provenance: Ex Richard Gross (the Baltimore Collection via Ron Guth) 3/20/1983.
