 1809 JR-1 (R-4). Brilliant Uncirculated, with strong claims to a slightly higher grade, bordering on Choice. Both sides are originally toned in medium silver gray shades, the front being slightly deeper in tone than the back. There are traces of pale mint lustre in the fields and the strike is sharp for the date. First year of issue for the new Capped Bust type.
Ex Garrett Collection (Bowers & Ruddy, October 1, 1980, lot 1580).
