1806 C-4 Large 6 R1. PCGS graded MS-64 Red. CAC. Mint red mellowing to light steel brown on the highpoints, at least two-thirds of the original color remaining. There is a small spot of darker steel toning in the field off the ends of the hair ribbon, a speck of carbon at the dentils left of the lowest curl, a small nick on the bust tip, and another under the second S in STATES. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0 late, with the reverse rotated 35 degrees CW and only minor weakness on the bust tip and opposing leaves on the reverse. Our grade is MS63+. Most likely from the Chapman hoard of mint state examples in this die state, but this is certainly one of the finest known.
