Lot 305
1807/6 S-273 R1 Overdate Large 7 over 6. PCGS graded MS-62+ Brown. Lustrous golden tan and light steel brown with darker steel brown and chocolate toning on the highpoints. Hints of very faded mint color can be found in protected areas on both sides and this cent offers very nice eye appeal. The only marks are a spot of dark toning on the left top of the T in LIBERTY and another nestled under the curl below the hair ribbon. Both spots are inconspicuous but can help identify this cent. LDS, Breen state IV, with a clearly defined rim cud over STA extending at least halfway to the adjacent D in UNITED. The die clashmarks are strong and bulges show in the field behind the lower curls. The overdate feature is obvious. Graded AU55 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #61028. Not seen by Bland. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label. Pop 2; 2 finer at PCGS for the variety, 1 in MS64 and 1 in MS65 (PCGS # 36442) .
Estimated Value $12,000-UP.
