The June 2-5, 2002, Pre-Long Beach Sale, Sale 14
Lot 2248
1806. 6 over 5. O-102,
R-2. PCGS graded AU-53. High in the condition census for this
variety, this lovely example will please most collectors for the lilac gray
tones and luster in the protected areas. Further, the hair on Liberty is well
struck, and this would appear to be an early die state (prior to lapping) which
shows minor clash marks on both sides, and a thin die crack through the N of
UNITED, down the diagonal into the field above the arrow points. Extensive die
rust is present around the obverse periphery. One small speck below the end of
the branch shows light pin scratching, visible only with a strong glass.
Certainly a very important coin for the specialist, and worthy of a strong bid
for it color and surfaces.
Estimated Value $1,500-1,800.

Estimated
Value $250-350.
