Lot 301
1805 S-267 R1. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. CAC Approved. Lustrous dark steel brown and chocolate with lighter steel brown toning in protected areas and hints of very faded mint color on the obverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. There are a few trivial marks that may help identify this cent. The notable ones are a tiny nick in the center of the cheek, a faint diagonal hairline scratch at the left corner of the eye, and a small spot of darker olive brown toning under the right foot of the second A in AMERICA. M-LDS, Breen state III, showing a dull die crack through the tops of AME. There is a small, very minor low spot in the hair left of the eye (caused by debris on the die). Graded MS60 net AU55 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #34266. Bland says MS60 and tied for CC#5. Our grade is MS60+. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 1; 1 finer in MS65 at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 36427) .
Estimated Value $12,000-UP.
