1803 C-2 R4 F15. Attractive glossy medium chocolate brown with frosty bluish steel brown overtones in protected areas. Great eye appeal for the grade, nearly flawless. A thin, barely visible planchet fissure on the throat is the best identifying mark. Very early die state (VEDS), Manley state 1.0 early. There is no trace of a die crack at ER in AMERICA and the ones at ITE and TE in STATES are faint. A premium example of this tough variety.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
