Lot 293
1803 S-265 R4 Large Date & Fraction VF20. Ten points sharper with microscopic granularity in the fields and protected areas. No verdigris, and the minute roughness is only visible under strong magnification. The only marks are a small rim bruise over the I in LIBERTY and a dull rim bruise or planchet void on the rim over RI in AMERICA. Rather glossy chocolate brown and steel blending to darker olive brown in protected areas. Nicely struck E-MDS, Breen state III. Die cracks show on both sides. A nice example of this popular "Redbook" variety.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
