1808/7 C-2 Overdate 8 over 7 VG10
1808/7 C-2 Overdate 8 over 7 VG10. Sharpness VF30 but dark and covered with fine granularity. No verdigris or notable contact marks, but there is some shallow scale in the field left of the lower end of the hair ribbon and a bit more right of the second S in STATES. Dark steel and olive with slightly lighter chocolate toning on the highpoints. Those highpoints display a bit of gloss but the remainder of the toning is closer to matte. Rare MDS, Manley state 4.0 early. A fine but relatively clear die crack extends up to the dentils from the top of the B and a faint one reaches up from between the E & R to the dentils. A strong cud break connects TY to the rim. The date and legends are clear and the overdate is obvious. Mentioned by Manley as an example of state 4.0 (Superior 6/98:47). Davy #08.2.17.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
