Lot 433
1802 S-225 R3-. VF-25. Clipped Planchet. Sharpness VF35 or slightly better but there are a couple fine pinscratches in the field behind the head, a few other very faint ones elsewhere on the obverse, and a splash of very fine granularity in a reddish brown patch at and above the N in ONE. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth. The obverse is frosty steel brown and chocolate while the reverse is a rather glossy mottled mix of steel brown, olive, and reddish chocolate. M-LDS, Breen state VI, with a strong cud break under 802 that extends slightly to the right beyond the base of the 2. The arcing die crack at ES-OF is complete and there is a small but strong cud break above that F. In addition, there is an obvious arcing planchet clip touching the tops of IB in LIBERTY and obliterating the bottoms of the 10 in the denominator, as struck. Called EF40 net F15 by Noyes, his photo #32651. DWH #3078.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
