1804 C-8 R1 Spiked Chin F12. Glossy medium chocolate brown fading to slightly darker chocolate toning in protected areas. The only notable mark is a dull nick in the field off the tip of the nose. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0 late. The crack through LIBERTY is stronger and there is a new, relatively strong radial crack up to the dentils from the earlier crack between the E & R. A slightly raised retained cud shows above LI but the upper edge of the I is still defined (the top of the I is lost in the retained cud for state 5.0). The "Spiked Chin" is dull but visible. Davy #04.8.21.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
