Full resolution: (1205 X 600 pixels, file size: ~163K)

1809 C-1 R4 VF25+. Sharpness VF35 but there are a half dozen fine nearly vertical hairline scratches down the portrait, but most of these are hidden in the hair details. The surfaces are smooth and offer excellent eye appeal. The only additional defect is a speck of verdigris on the lower left tip of star 7, and this is easy to miss. Attractive glossy chocolate brown with traces of frosty lighter steel brown toning in a few of the protected areas on the obverse. Close to VF30. Nicely struck MDS, Manley state 2.0, with a clear die crack through the tops of MERICA and the reverse rotated 15 degrees CCW. This is the Breen plate coin for the variety, page 296 in his half cent encyclopedia. Tied for CC#4 honors in the Mike Spurlock census, CC#4 in the Jim McGuigan list, and third finest in the Breen list. This piece tied for second place at the 2004 EAC Convention Half Cent Happening. Certainly a very important example of this rare variety, the toughest variety of the year. Estimated Value $8,000-UP. Ex Hollinbeck Kagin sale #298, 9/11/1972:617-unknown-R. Tettenhorst 1985 (in trade)-Jim McGuigan Nov/Dec FPL 1/1/1986-Dr. Wallace Lee, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 5/25/2003:264. Categories: The Whister Collection
