1805 L1C C-3 R4 VG10. Small 5 with Stems.
Highly glossy chocolate brown with splashes of reddish chocolate toning on both sides, mostly on the obverse. The surfaces are mostly smooth and attractive for the grade, but there is a small patch of very shallow roughness at the junction of the neck and bust. A careful examination with a good glass reveals traces of shallow verdigris in a few of the protected areas as well, but the overall eye appeal of this example is nice for the grade. The date and legends are bold. Late die state, Manley state 2.0, with strong swelling in the field before the portrait. An above average example of this rare "Redbook" type.
