Lot 216
1800/79 S-195 R5 Overdate 80 over 79, Style II Hair. PCGS graded EF-40. Glossy dark steel brown and chocolate with traces of frosty tan and lighter steel brown in protected areas. No roughness or verdigris, and the eye appeal is excellent, but there are a few light contact marks. The notable ones are a dull diagonal nick in the field under the hair ribbon, a couple nicks over the 180, and a light rim bruise under the 8 in the date. MDS, Breen state III. The die crack at CA extends to the center of the adjacent I. A nice example of this tough die variety. The overdate feature is obvious. Our grade is VF30 net VF25, which would place this piece in the lower half of the top 6 in the condition census. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 36164) .
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
