1807/6 S-273 R1 Overdate Large 7 over 6. PCGS graded MS-63 Red & Brown. Beautiful lustrous steel brown and chocolate faded down from mint red with 10% of the slightly faded mint color remaining on the obverse, 25% on the reverse. Virtually flawless except for some of the usual strike weakness associated with the late die state. A tiny pinprick over the C in AMERICA is the best identifying mark, and it is barely visible. LDS, Breen state IV. The dies are worn and display strong clashmarks, and a horizontal die crack extends into the field from the dentils left of the lower curls. In addition, a narrow rim cud break shows over ST in STATES. The face is not fully impressed and the opposing leaves under RICA are softly struck as well, but the remainder of the designs are well impressed. This is a very attractive example of this popular overdate variety, certainly one of the finest available today. Our grade is consistent with the PCGS grade.
Estimated Value $12,000-UP.
