1804 C-9 R2 EF45. Sharpness at least 5 points better but this piece was very lightly cleaned and retoned a very attractive and natural-looking medium chocolate brown. Great eye appeal. The only marks are a horizontal nick hidden in the center of the ear and a dull, light rim nick left of the upper ribbon end. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. The die cracks on the obverse are faint and overlapping die clashmarks show on the reverse.
Removed from a PCGS slab graded AU50 (PCGS label included, #1063.50/22104358, and the label incorrectly identifies this piece as "Plain 4-No Stems"). Weight 85.7 grains.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
