Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin G6. Slightly sharper but there is a subtle bend in the planchet creating a bulge near the rim behind the head. Otherwise this piece is smooth with only light contact marks. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. Rare M-LDS, Manley state 10.2, Braig state 7.2, with a thick die crack from the left top of the M to the cud over the adjacent A in AMERICA. The earlier cud breaks on the reverse are strong.
Estimated Value $75-UP.
