Lot Title:
|
1808 8 over 7 (C-2, R.3). PCGS F-15.
|
|
Description:
|
The obverse overdate paired with a reverse that has the leaf well below ED, and a berry directly beside the upper serif of "T" in CENT. The marvelous rim cud above "TY" has developed a small crack extending left to the "E", suggesting die-state IV. This is a terrific coin for the commercial F-15 grade, a trifle flat in terms of detail, but wear is consistent and faces up very nicely. A shallow depression in the obverse upper-right field is clearly a planchet void, with a few other trivial depressions as-made in the bottom of the left field. Other depressions on the reverse are circulation marks. Pleasing, and unusually sharp for a coin with so much wear.
