Lot 484
1803 S-246 R3 Mumps Obverse. VF-20. Sharpness VF25 or slightly better but there are a few more light contact marks than you like to find on a cent of the higher grade.

Attractive glossy medium brown and chocolate with frosty lighter brown toning in some of the protected areas on the reverse. E-MDS, Breen state II. The "Mumps" break at the throat is small but clearly present. Called VF25 net VF20 and tied for CC#13 in the Noyes census, photo #36943. Bland also says VF25 net VF20. DWH #2812.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
