Lot 434
1802 S-225 R3-. About Good-3. Nice glossy chocolate and steel brown. The surfaces are smooth and the only notable mark is a small chip or pinprick in the field over the hair ribbon. Just well worn. The date is easily readable although the bottom is worn into the rim below. LIBERTY is weak but readable while the fraction and most of UNITED are worn smooth. Terminal die state, Breen state VII, with a strong cud break covering most of ES-O. Extremely rare and possibly unique as this may well be the discovery coin, which Breen says was found in 1957. No others have been reported in this die state. Noyes lists this one as G4, his photo #23326. DWH #2549.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
