Lot 390
1800/79 S-194 R3 Overdate 80 over 79 PCGS graded AU53. Choice glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with frosty tan and lighter brown in some of the protected areas. The surfaces are smooth, mint frost covers the fields and protected areas, and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a thin diagonal nick in the field off the lower end of the hair ribbon and a small nick right of the F in OF. Nicely struck E-MDS, Breen state III, with die clashmarks on both sides and a die crack at the bottom of the reverse, but no rim cuds. The overdate feature is bold. A beautiful cent with just a touch of wear on the highpoints. Our grade is EF40+, close to EF45. The overdate feature is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS #1455. Pop 4; 16 graded higher at PCGS. Estimated Value $4,500 - UP
