1809/6 C-5 R1 Overdate 9 over 6 or Inverted 9 VF25
1809/6 C-5 R1 Overdate 9 over 6 or Inverted 9 VF25. Clipped Planchet. Ten points sharper but there are a couple small splashes of very fine roughness at the top of the head and a few more on the lower left part of the reverse. Traces of raised verdigris show in some of these rough spots but the remainder of the planchet is smooth. There are a few light contact marks on the chin, neck, and in the field above the bust plus a scuff of fine hairline scratches inside the wreath. Mostly glossy chocolate brown mottled with darker olive brown on the reverse. Sharply struck EDS, Manley state 1.0. The repunching on the 9 is sharp. A minor planchet clip affects the dentils above the back of the head and the opposing dentils under the end of the wreath stem. Davy #09.5.13.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
