Lot 426
1801 S-223 R1 Error Fraction 1/000. VF-30. Close to VF35 but there are a few too many light contact marks for the higher grade, including a couple tiny but fresh scratches that break the toning at the first 0 in the denominator. Very attractive glossy chocolate brown. The surfaces are smooth and display traces of frosty luster in protected areas. Very rare terminal die state, Breen state VI, with a large, bold cud break connecting the bust to the rim in addition to the smaller ones over IB and RTY. One of the finest known in this tough die state. DWH #3547.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
