Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1805 C-2 R5 Small 5 with Stems PCGS Genuine Good Details Bent. Rather glossy medium steel brown on the devices with darker steel and chocolate toning covering the fields and protected areas. The devices are mostly smooth while very fine roughness covers the rest of the planchet. A slight upward bend in the planchet along the right edge of the obverse has resulted in extra wear on the right side of the wreath. In addition there are several planchet voids in that area, strongest at F-A and traces of light greenish crust in protected areas around F-AMER. The date is complete and clear and the legends are nearly complete. Our grade is G5+ sharpness net AG3+. The eye appeal is not as bad as the description might imply. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
