Lot 290
1803 S-257 R2 Small Date, Large Fraction. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. CAC Approved. Frosty golden tan and light steel brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints of the devices. Mint luster covers the fields and protected areas on both sides and this cent offers outstanding eye appeal. The only marks, and they are microscopic, are a tiny planchet flake (as struck) in the field close before the neck, another at the dentils left of the lower end of the hair ribbon, and a collection of extremely faint ticks on the shoulder with another group of very fine ticks in the field over the upper end of the hair ribbon. Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I, with die clashmarks on both sides but no die cracks. Our grade is AU58, perhaps because we use a 16x glass, but this cent offers solid mint state eye appeal. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 1 finer in MS63+ at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 36395) .
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
