Lot 4001
1803. 3 over 2. Miller-57. Breen-1-D, Rarity-2. . M-57. PCGS graded MS-63. One of just 14 so graded by PCGS, with only 19 graded higher. An extremely rare coin in any grade of mint state, especially rare in choice condition as offered here. Flashy luster and well struck devices combine to enhance this rare piece. Further, the fields and devices show only minimal handling marks.
We note the reverse die is a late state, it was probably lapped, then cracked through the left wing to rim, down through the eagle, top leaf in the branch through the E of AMERICA. The obverse does not show the crack through the date, but has delicate die cracks through LIBERTY at the top and others connecting several stars on the obverse.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
