Lot 538
1807 S-271 R1 Comet Obverse. PCGS graded AU-58. Choice glossy chocolate brown with smooth, nearly flawless surfaces. A few dull, light nicks on the lower part of the neck are the only defects, and they are not at all significant. This cent offers outstanding eye appeal in spite of very light wear on the highest points of the design. M-LDS, Breen state VI. The "Comet" break in the field behind the head is strong and the obverse fields show several additional raised linear defects parallel to the "Comet" flaw. The field below the hair ribbon has started to swell as well. A choice example of this popular "Redbook" variety. Our grade is EF40. PCGS Population 1; 1 in MS63 BN; 1 in MS64 BN at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3524.
Estimated Value $7,500-UP.
