 1805 JR-1 (R-3). Five Berries Reverse. Brilliant Uncirculated. This steel gray specimen shows hints of gold at the left stars and blue-green hues at LIBERTY. The reverse shows wisps of lovely electric blue at the bottom. The strike is generally bold but is slightly soft at the centers, which is typical. Magnification reveals some very faint adjustment marks at the obverse, mostly hidden in Liberty's hair. This is the last of the three listed die states, with several thin die cracks in the reverse lettering. A splendid coin that is quite difficult to locate in such a lofty grade. PCGS MS61.
