<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1398130, member: 66"]1806 C-1 small 6 stemless R-1 Probably the second most common variety of the year but popular because of the stemless wreath which makes it a Redbook variety. I suspect the dies are axially misaligned. The die faces were not parallel being closer together at 6:00 on the obv and 12:00 on the rev, and further apart at 12:00 obv and 6:00 rev. That is the reason for the weakness of LIBERTY and RICA and fraction. If you ignore that weakness from strike the coin would probably grade VG. I don't think it could be pushed to Fine. You got quite a bargain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
