1804 C-6 R2 Spiked Chin VF25. Slightly sharper but there are a few too many small nicks for the higher grade, none notable or distracting. Attractive glossy light to medium chocolate brown with golden tan faded down from mint color in protected areas on the reverse. Rare intermediate die state, Manley 10.5, with a dimple in the cud break over the left side of the M in AMERICA. A prize for the collector of die states, comparable to the Manley plate coin. Estimated Value $400 - UP
