1811 C-1 R4 G6+
Sharpness near VG10 but covered with uniform fine to moderate granularity (although the highpoints are relatively smooth). Minor traces of shallow verdigris show in protected areas and the only marks are some nicks over AL in HALF and a small rim nick above the second S in STATES. Slightly glossy dark olive brown with lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. Extremely rare M-LDS, Manley state 4.0, Fuhrman state 5, with a strong 2-star cud break involving stars 1 & 2. About a half dozen are known in this die state, and most of them are heavily worn and net graded due to significant problems. In fact, I believe this piece, even with its imperfect surfaces, is one of the finest known. I have seen only one finer in this die state.
