Losbeschreibung: Lot 493 1809/6 C-5 R1 Overdate 9 over Inverted 9. PCGS graded AU-55. CAC.Very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Satiny luster covers the fields and protected areas and this piece has great eye appeal. The only defects are a microscopic planchet lamination to the rim above star 7 (as struck) and a dull tick near the berry above AL in HALF. LDS, Manley state 3.0. The dentils on the obverse are gone as are most of the dentils on the reverse. The undertype 6 or inverted 9 remains clear. A very nice example of this popular "Redbook" variety.
