Lot 251
1801 NC-3 R6 Error Fraction 1/000. PCGS graded Good-6. CAC Approved. Lightly cleaned and retoned glossy light olive brown and steel with some reddish brown stains on both sides. The planchet is mostly smooth but there are a few small areas of microscopic roughness on the obverse. The notable marks are a streak of darker toning from the L to the rim left of the hair ribbon and a diagonal nick in the field over the upper end of the hair ribbon. The date is strong and the legends are clear except for ES-OF-A, which were weakly struck and are no longer visible. Not perfect but the finest of the 21 examples known to us grades only VG8. Our grade is G6 sharpness net G5. The attribution, 1/000 feature, and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 1 finer in VG8 at PCGS for the variety. Only 2 examples graded at PCGS (PCGS # 36281) .
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
