Lot 215
1808 S-277 R2 Turban Head PCGS graded AU50. The "12-Star" Die State. There are splashes of dark chocolate toning on the reverse, and these areas show traces of extremely faint roughness. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and the toning is an attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate. There are four sharp rim nicks on the reverse at TES-OF-AME; otherwise the contact marks are trivial. MDS, Breen state VI. The reverse is cracked and failing at D-STATES, and this failure has caused severe weakness at star 1, thereby creating the popular "12-Star" die state. Our grade is EF40 sharpness net VF30. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
