<B>1805<1/2 C> Small 5, Stems--Scratched--ANACS. VG8 Details.</B></I> C-2, B-2, High R.5. Perfect dies as always. The cloudy lavender-blue surfaces suggest a past cleaning, and a few thin scratches reside within the wreath. A less obtrusive scratch appears left of the date. C-2 is the rarest die marriage of the date, and the Small 5, Stems is the scarcest <I>Guide Book</B></I> variety for 1805. The reverse of this rare variety also appears on the C-4 variety dated 1803. Most students now agree that this die marriage was produced <I>before</B></I> the 1803 variety. EAC 5.
