Lot 296
1804 S-266b R5 PCGS Genuine. Sharpness VF25 but the planchet is covered with very fine roughness and much of the field before the portrait has been lightly scraped to minimize the roughness in that area. A shallow lump of reddish verdigris is located in the field under the L in LIBERTY. The reverse is relatively nice showing only microscopic roughness in the fields and protected areas and no verdigris. Slightly glossy dark olive brown with lighter chocolate brown toning covering the devices. M-LDS, Breen state III, with a strong cud break connecting RTY to the rim and a die crack through the tops of MERIC but no cud on that side. The reverse is rotated 40 degrees CCW. This cent has a bold date and clear legends. Our grade is VF25 sharpness net VG10+. The attribution and Foster provenance are shown on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
