Lot 561
1812 S-288 R2 Large Date. AU-50. Turban Head. Sharpness very close to mint state but there are a few short pinscratches at stars 6 & 7 and above the head, plus another up from the E in LIBERTY to the top of the head. None of these marks is especially distracting, but there are too many to ignore. Attractive frosty steel brown with a splash of darker steel brown toning at CE in CENT and light bluish steel overtones in protected areas. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal is excellent in spite of the minor marks. M-LDS, Breen state III. The dentils are clearly fused at stars 1-3 and at star 6. The obverse is properly centered on the planchet but the reverse is off a bit to K-11. Called MS60 net EF45 and tied for CC#12 in the Noyes census, his photo #22010. DWH #3110.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
Ex Jack Beymer 8/87-John D. Wright 1/18/06-Bob Grellman & Chris McCawley 4/3/06.
