1803 S-252 R2 Small Date & Fraction PCGS graded AU58+, CAC Approved. Frosty medium brown and tan with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Mint luster covers the fields and protected areas and the eye appeal of this cent is quite nice.

A beautiful cent with just a touch of friction on the highpoints of the devices. MDS, Breen state III, with die cracks through the date and lower curls and die clashmarks on the reverse.
