Lot 203
1808 S-278 R3. PCGS graded MS-62+ Brown. CAC. Choice frosty tan and light brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highest points of the devices. Essentially flawless; a tiny struck-through line under the second 8 in the date and a small planchet flake on the end of the chin (both as struck) can help identify this cent. Looks mint state but there is a hint of rub on the highest points of the portrait. EDS but not quite the earliest with a tiny crumble between two dentils under the right edge of the first 8 in the date. Not seen by Noyes or Bland. Our grade is AU58+, very close to MS60. The attribution and Great Pacific Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 5 finer: 4 in 63, 1 in 64. (PCGS # 36460) Value $12,000 - UP
