Lot 400
1800 S-211 R3-. VF-30 Plus. Breen Plate Coin. Choice glossy chocolate brown with frosty lighter brown toning covering the fields and protected areas of the reverse. The surfaces are smooth and very attractive, only a few trivial contact marks from flawless. Very close to VF35. The notable marks are a couple faint hairline scratches in the field before the portrait and a shallow planchet flake low on the neck, as struck. M-LDS, Breen state VI, with die cracks through the bottom of the date and obvious bulges in the obverse fields. This is the Breen plate coin for the variety. Called VF35 and tied for CC#4 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF30 net VF25 and tied for CC#7, photo #36118. DWH #2803.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
