Lot 326
1812 S-291 R2 Small Date. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. CAC Approved. Frosty medium chocolate brown and steel with a few tiny peeps of faded mint red showing on the obverse and a few spots of lighter medium brown toning on each side. Satiny mint luster covers the planchet and this cent offers outstanding eye appeal. The only contact marks are a couple thin vertical nicks in the field close before the mouth. LDS, Breen state IV early. There is a strong die crack connecting stars 5 & 6 but the small chip on the right side of star 2 has not formed. This cent has not been evaluated by Noyes or Bland. Our grade is MS60+, which would place it at the top of the condition census for the variety. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 36502) .
Estimated Value $15,000-UP.
