1809 C-4 R2 Recut 0 MS60. Glossy olive brown and chocolate, possibly recolored long ago but still quite attractive. No spots or stains, and the only marks are a few small, shallow planchet flakes in the field before the portrait (as struck) and a tiny pinprick in the field under the tip of the chin. Sharply struck EDS, the earliest seen. The dentils are complete around both sides and the recutting inside the 0 in the date (large 0 over small 0) is crisp.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
