1805 C-3 R4 Small 5 with Stems VG10
1805 C-3 R4 Small 5 with Stems VG10. Glossy dark olive brown with medium brown toning on the highpoints leaving an attractive two-tone look that accents the details and enhances the eye appeal, which is excellent. Very nice for the grade, close to VG10. There is some extremely fine roughness hidden under the glossy toning in the fields and protected areas, but no verdigris. The only marks are a half dozen tiny pinpricks on the lower reverse, mostly around the wreath ribbon, plus a small rim nick at RT in LIBERTY and a dull pinprick on the base of that E. LDS, Manley state 2.0, with strong swelling in the field before the portrait. The reverse is rotated 20 degrees CW. The date is bold and the legends are complete, including HA and CE in HALF CENT in spite of the usual strike weakness on those letters. An attractive lower grade example of this tough "Redbook" variety. Davy #05.3.2.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
