Lot 276
1803 S-247 R3 "Mumps" Obverse AU50. Small Date & Fraction. Sharpness closer to mint state but most likely lightly cleaned long ago. Now nicely toned frosty chocolate brown blending to darker olive brown in the protected areas. The only marks are a few tiny nicks on both sides, none at all significant. The eye appeal of this cent is excellent. Sharply struck everywhere except at D-ST. MDS, Breen state II, with a fine die crack from the dentils above the N in UNITED through the tops of NITE. The "Mumps" cud at the throat is bold. One of the sharpest examples known of this tough variety, clearly in the condition census.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
