1806 C-2 R4 Small 6 with Stems VF35
1806 C-2 R4 Small 6 with Stems VF35. Sharpness near EF45 but there is a fine planchet lamination that meanders through the hair ribbons extending into the field to the left. This planchet flaw was present when the piece was struck but it catches your eye and detracts from the otherwise excellent eye appeal offered by this piece. Glossy light to medium brown mixed with some medium chocolate brown tones. The area close around the lamination is toned a darker shade of chocolate and olive and a similar spot of dark toning is located at the foot of the I in AMERICA. A dusting of very fine crud covers the bust above the drapery line but the remainder of the planchet is smooth and the fields are slightly reflective. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with strong die clashmarks at RT in LIBERTY but without the die crack from the 6 to the bust tip. The reverse is rotated 10 degrees CW. A very nice example of this popular "Redbook" variety in spite of the minor lamination flaw. Noyes photo #73663. Weight 80.3 grains.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
