1826 C-2 R3+ VF20
1826 C-2 R3+ VF20. Sharpness VF25 or slightly better but light contact marks cover the obverse, including a long, thin nick in the field before the nose. The only notable mark on the reverse is a small rim bruise over AT in STATES. Glossy light to medium brown with steel brown highpoints. Extremely rare LDS, Manley state 4.0, with a strong cud break that connects stars 4 & 5 to the rim. The strike at the top of TE in UNITED (which opposes the cud) is depressed because there was not enough planchet metal to fill both the strong obverse cud and the reverse designs. About ten examples are known in this terminal die state, and most of those are in low grade with significant defects. Davy #26.2.4.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
