Lot 553
1810/09 S-281 R1 Overdate 10 over 09. EF-45. Turban Head. Five points sharper but there is a faint vertical hairline scratch down through the left point of star 6 and a couple more even fainter ones at NE and NT in ONE CENT. Otherwise this cent is choice and offers outstanding eye appeal for the grade. Very attractive glossy steel brown and chocolate with frosty tan and light brown covering the protected areas, the lighter color dominating the obverse. A short, thin streak of darker olive toning passes down the neck from the jawline to the curl below. The fields and protected areas are covered with flowline luster. LDS, Breen state IV, with die clashmarks on both sides and flowlines drawing the stars to the rim. The overdate is weakened by die wear but remains visible. Noyes photo #39447. Removed from a PCGS slab graded AU55 (PCGS label included). DWH #3396.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
Ex James G. Macallister 1945-Benson collection, Goldberg’s 2/01:378-Denis Loring 4/27/07.
