1805 C-1 R2- Stemless Wreath. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel and chocolate brown blending into olive with smooth, satiny surfaces. This piece offers excellent eye appeal. The only defects are a short, light scuff that barely breaks the satiny luster under the lower ribbon tip behind the head and a couple barely visible hairlines under ER in AMERICA. MDS, Manley state 1.0 late, with the reverse rotated 15 degrees CW. A small but clearly defined rim cud right of the fraction covers 4 dentils. An attractive example, at the lower end of the condition census.
Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Davy provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Comes with a nice provenance. Davy #05.1.3.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
