Lot 192
1803 S-248 R4 Mumps Obverse, Doubled Fraction Bar PCGS graded VF25. Glossy light to medium chocolate brown and steel with an arc of dark olive brown toning at the dentils from K-1 to K-3 on the obverse. Free of any trace of roughness or corrosion, but there are some light contact marks scattered over the obverse, none significant but too many to ignore at this grade level. A dull rim nick right of the forehead is the only notable mark. Sharply struck MDS, Breen state II, with a fine die crack through the top of MERIC. The "Mumps" break at the throat and Doubled Fraction Bar are both clear. Our grade is VF25 net VF20. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
