Lot 323
1812 S-289 R1 Large Date. PCGS graded AU-55+. Glossy dark olive brown and steel. Frosty mint luster covers the fields and protected areas. This cent offers mint state eye appeal, but there is a very light rub on the highest points of the devices that is visible under strong magnification. This cent is nearly flawless. The best identifying marks are a very light rim nick at star 7 and a light diagonal nick off the right foot of the F in OF. LDS, Breen state IV. There is a small crumble on the front edge of the neck and strong die clashmarks at the top of the C in CENT. In addition there is an unreported die line or spike that has been added through the top of the D in UNITED, and it extends well beyond both sides of the D. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 5 finer at PCGS for the variety, 3 in AU58, 1 in MS63, and 1 in MS64 (PCGS # 36508) .
Estimated Value $6,000-UP.
