Lot 279
1803 S-252 R2 Small Date and Fraction F15. Sharpness VF25 or a bit better but there are numerous fine vertical scratches in the fields on both sides of the portrait. Fortunately the scratches are barely visible to the unaided eye. A patch of very fine carbon shows in the field near the dentils behind the portrait and there are traces of similar crud around UNITED. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive with only trivial contact marks. Glossy light to medium chocolate brown and steel. EDS, Breen state I, before any die cracks on the obverse. The date and legends are bold.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
