The surfaces are smooth except for some fine verdigris around BERT and ERICA. Minor marks, mostly in the field before the chin and neck. Nicely struck E-MDS, Manley state 3.0, Fuhrman state 2, with a fine die crack through the top of ATES OF AMERICA to the dentils right of the fraction. The bottom of a stray 3 shows near the dentils under the left half of the 3. A decent example of this tough die variety. Our grade is net VF20+. 4113819-002 $8,500 Ex Chris McCawley 6/1/2018-The J.

LOT 39

1803 C-3 R2 AU58 PCGS. Frosty steel brown and light chocolate with lighter brown and tan in some of the protected areas.

M-LDS, Manley state 4.0, Fuhrman state 4, with clear die polishing lines down to the left from IBE, the strongest line tangent to the back of the head.
