1810 S-282 R2. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. CAC Approved. Very attractive lustrous light olive and chocolate brown with slightly lighter brown on the right side of the obverse. Hints of faded mint color can be found in protected areas around the wreath. No spots or stains, nearly flawless. A barely visible hairline on the jaw and a nick at the base of the inner point of star 5 are the only notable marks, and they are very easy to miss. MDS Breen state III. There are a couple light die cracks on the obverse and a raised ridge along the dentil tips over ATES OF. The stars before the portrait do not show their radial lines while the ones behind the portrait are fully struck, a result of dies that were out of proper axial alignment (the die faces were not perfectly parallel). In addition the reverse is rotated 25 degrees CW. Graded MS60 and CC#2 with only 2 mint state examples in the Noyes census, his photo #39146. Bland says MS60 and CC#3. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 36475) .
Estimated Value $20,000-UP.
