Lot 245
1801 S-221 R2 Corrected Denominator 100 over 000. PCGS graded AU-55. CAC Approved. Beautiful frosty medium chocolate brown with choice, satiny surfaces. Only trivial contact marks and very light friction on the highpoints of the devices. The best identifying marks are a tiny planchet chip on the jawline midway between the throat and ear lobe and a microscopic pinprick in the center of the neck. Nicely struck MDS, Breen state IV early. There is a rim break from the top of the F in OF to the adjacent A plus an extension to over the center of the M (not extending to above the adjacent E). Both rim breaks are clearly defined and the Corrected Denominator feature is obvious. Graded EF40 and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #39589. Bland says VF35. Our grade is EF45. Comes with a provenance that has been traced back well over a century. The attribution, 100/000 feature, and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 3; 1 finer in AU58 at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 36284) .
Estimated Value $7,000-UP.
