Lot 350
1803 S-264 R4+ Large Date, Small Fraction PCGS graded AG3, CAC Approved. Attractive glossy light to medium chocolate brown and steel. No roughness or verdigris. The surfaces are quite nice, especially for a rare variety that so often comes with corrosion or other serious defects. Only a few trivial contact marks; a pair of closely spaced parallel nicks just left of the fraction may help identify this cent. LDS, Breen state III late. The die failure outlined by the crack at STAT is severe and that area has become a retained cud that is clearly raised on the left end. Graded G4 and above average by Noyes, his photo #59851. Our grade is G4 as well. Perhaps the uneven wear caused by the very late die state influenced the graders at PCGS. Regardless, this is a very nice example of an important "Redbook" variety. Estimate Value $9,000 - UP
