Lot 554
1810 S-282 R2. AU-50 Plus. Turban Head. Breen Plate Coin. Lustrous blend of frosty tan faded down from mint color mixed with light chocolate brown. Great eye appeal, just a hint of wear on the highpoints and only a few trivial marks. The only notable defect is a small, shallow planchet flake at the dentils over the second A in AMERICA, as struck. Close to AU55. MDS, Breen state III. Flowlines are starting to draw the stars to the rim and clashmarks are visible inside the wreath right of ONE and CENT. The reverse is slightly misaligned to K-1.5 while the obverse is reasonably well centered on the planchet. Plated in the Breen book to illustrate the variety. Called AU50 and tied for CC#9 in the Bland census. Noyes says AU55 net AU50 but tied for CC#5, his photo #37373. Removed from a PCGS slab graded AU58 (PCGS label included, and it shows the attribution and Husak provenance). PCGS Population 1; The only one graded at PCGS for the variety. DWH #3497.
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
