Lot Title:
|
1808 Normal Date (C-3, R.1). NGC AU-50 BN CAC.
|
|
Description:
|
C-3 is easy to attribute from the high last "8", with die-state II identified by evidence of rust in the obverse right field. The reverse is rotated almost ninety degrees. A leather-brown coin with minimal luster but some fine flowline texture, the faintest hint of powdery mint tan hue accents a device or two here and there. Housed in an NGC no-line holder, the CAC sticker may be ignoring three ancient pin scratches in the lower bust area, one through the date and a pair crisscrossing in front of the bust. These practically disappear because of patina consistent with the rest of the coin, and no other notable defects can be found.
