Lot 596
1800 S-209 R3. PCGS graded AU-53. Glossy steel and light olive with lots of frosty tan faded down from mint color remaining in protected areas. A couple tiny pinscratches at the leaf left of the O in ONE are the only signs of contact. A small spot of very shallow roughness at the dentils over the second S in STATES can also help identify this cent. LDS, Breen state VI. The die clashmarks on the obverse and die crack on the reverse are clear and there are some shallow low spots on the neck from debris on the die. Called AU50 net EF40 and tied for CC#7 in the Breen/Bland census. Noyes says EF40 net VF30 and tied for CC#8, his photo #24157. Our grade is EF45 net EF40. The attribution and Wells provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
