Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1807 C-1 R1 VF25. Nice glossy chocolate brown and steel. No roughness or verdigris, only minor contact marks. The best identifying mark is a faint hairline scratch from the bottom of the eye to the ear. Rare EDS, Manley state 1.0. The repunching on the 7 is sharp and most of the dentils are clear. The strike on EN in CENT and the ribbon loop below is soft, which is typical of the early state, but everything else is sharp.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
