Lot 194
1800 S-204 R4 PCGS graded MS61. Frosty bluish steel brown and gray mixed with medium chocolate brown. Satiny mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The only notable mark is an amoeba-shaped struck-through caused by a piece of very thin wire or thread at the E in ONE (as struck). No spots or stains, only a touch of friction on the highest points of the devices. M-LDS, Breen state VI late. The die if failing badly over RTY and along the rim before the face, and there are clearly defined clashmarks from dentils at BER. This is the plate coin for the variety in the Breen encyclopedia. Graded AU55 net AU50 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #21786. Bland says EF45 and tied for CC#6. Our grade is AU50+. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 1 finer in 62 at PCGS for the variety. Estimate Value $5,000 - UP
