Lot 315
1810 S-283 R2. PCGS graded AU-58+. CAC Approved. Glossy medium chocolate and steel brown with frosty lighter steel brown faded down from mint color in protected areas. Mint luster covers the fields and protected areas on both sides and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. No spots or stains, only a few very light contact marks. The notable ones are a pair of very light, dull scratches in the field over the bust and a nick over star 1. E-MDS Breen state II, showing die clashmarks on both sides. Myriad fine die preparation lines cover the face and neck. These lines are seldom seen because they only show on high grade early state pieces which are quite rare. This is the toughest 1810 variety to fine in top grades. Graded AU50 net EF45 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #61027. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 1 finer in MS62 at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 36478) .
Estimated Value $7,500-UP.
