1802 S-232 R1. PCGS graded AU-53. Choice glossy medium chocolate brown and steel. Frosty luster shows in the fields and protected areas and this cent offers outstanding eye appeal.

1803 S-264 R4+ Large Date with Small Fraction AG3. Sharpness at least VF20 but this cent was banged up and lost in soil or some other unfriendly environment for a while before being rescued. The contact marks are limited mostly to the obverse and consist of a shallow "squish" left of the lower curls to the rim and a series of dull but strong digs near the dentils from behind the head clockwise to the bust tip (obviously intentional). A couple scratches at the bust and a dull dent on the shoulder round out the significant marks on that side. The only mark on the reverse is a rim nick at the first S in STATES. Slightly glossy dark greenish olive brown mixed with a coat of greenish patina indicative of spending an extended amount of time in soil. Fortunately the date and legends are still clear. E-MDS, Breen state II. The always-present die cracks at the upper left part of the reverse are clear but STA is still complete and easily readable in spite of obvious swelling in that area. Clearly not the most attractive cent in this sale, but most of this variety come with significant problems.
