Lot 71 – 1804 C-7 R4 XF40

Spiked Chin. A newly discovered example that is condition census caliber and one of the very best seen of the die state, Manley 5.0. Sharp detail of a 45 coin, glossy surfaces, and very few marks. Slightly mottled color with some orange hues suggesting an old cleaning, which accounts for the slight deduction in grade. Substantial eye appeal nevertheless. An exciting coin and one of the highlights among the half cents in this year’s sale.
