Lot 208
1803 S-249 R2 Corrected Denominator 100/000 PCGS graded MS62 Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty tan and light steel brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Ample traces of golden tan faded down from mint color show on both sides and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. A few puffs of darker steel toning near the dentils left of the hair ribbons and a tiny nick at the dentils left of the first A in AMERICA can help identify this cent. Sharply struck EDS, Breen states I & II, with a very subtle bulge in the field off the bust tip and a clearly defined rim cud at ED in UNITED but no cracks on the obverse. Since this bulge appears in the earlier S-248 marriage, Breen's states I & II are the same state. The reverse is rotated 15 degrees CCW. The Corrected Denominator (100 over 000) feature is bold. A very nice example of this "Redbook" variety. Graded AU50 net EF45 and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes census, his photo #61009. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 2 finer at PCGS for the variety, 1 in 63, 1 in 64. Estimate Value $8,000 - UP
