Lot 490
1803 S-249 R2 Corrected Fraction 100 over 000. VF-35 Plus. Close to EF40 but there are a few minor contact marks, none distracting but too many to hold the higher grade. The only notable ones are a small pinprick close to the tip of the chin with a faint vertical hairline extending down from this pinprick to the bust where it fades out and a fine diagonal hairline scratch in the hair left of the forehead. Otherwise this cent is choice and the eye appeal remains outstanding. Very attractive glossy chocolate and steel with ample frosty tan faded down from mint color showing in protected areas. MDS, Breen state IV. The corrected fraction feature is bold. A premium example of this popular "Redbook" variety. DWH #3549.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
