Lot 297
1803 S-264 R4+ Large Date, Small Fraction. PCGS graded Fine-15. Rather glossy steel brown and chocolate with darker steel and olive brown toning in the protected areas. No corrosion or verdigris, only light contact marks consistent with the grade. The notable marks are a dull nick at the back of the head close to the ribbon knot and another vertical nick in the field off the lower end of the hair ribbon. LDS, Breen state III late. STA in STATES is obliterated and that area is significantly raised as part of a retained cud. The latest state seen by this cataloger. The date and remainder of the legends are complete and clear. A nice example of this very popular "Redbook" variety (most come with significant defects, especially corrosion and verdigris). Not seen by Noyes or Bland. Our grade is VG10. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 3 finer at PCGS for the variety, 1 in VF20, 1 in VF30, and 1 in VF35 (PCGS # 36410) .
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
