Lot 222
1810 S-285 R2 Turban Head PCGS graded XF45. Partial Double Profile. Glossy medium olive brown and chocolate with hints of reddish chocolate toning in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth but there are a few microscopic specks of verdigris on both sides including one between the 8 & following 1 in the date. The only notable contact marks are a couple tiny nicks along the truncation of the bust. M-LDS, Breen state III, with obvious die clashmarks on the reverse. There is a fine double profile on the tip of the nose, upper lip, and chin plus wider doubling along the neck (from die bounce). The obverse is very slightly misaligned to K-11 but the reverse is nicely centered on the planchet. Our grade is EF40. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
