Lot 233
1800/79 S-195 R5 Overdate 80 over 79. ICG graded Fine-15. Slightly glossy olive brown. The surfaces appear smooth but a layer of very fine dirt covers most of the planchet. It looks like this cent has never been brushed or "improved" in any way. Perhaps a gentle bath is in order. The only marks are a shallow planchet lamination at the rim under the lowest curl and a tiny pit mark or planchet flake under the earlobe. EDS, Breen state I, before the die crack through the bases of TY in LIBERTY. Our grade is F15 net F12 for the dirt. At the lower end of the extended condition census for this tough variety.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
