Lot 74
1809 S-280 R2 Turban Head. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. CAC Approved. Lustrous steel brown and chocolate with frosty lighter steel brown toning in protected areas, especially on the obverse. Great eye appeal. A speck of dark toning over star 12 is the best identifying mark. Nicely struck E-MDS, Breen state IV, with a single die crack at ES and light die clashmarks right of ONE CENT. Called AU50 tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, photo #36856. Our grade is AU50+, close to AU55. A great example of this tough "Turban Head" date. The attribution and Paul Gerrie provenance are shown on the PCGS label. Pop 1; 1 finer in 63.
Estimated Value $15,000-UP.
