Lot 277
1811 S-287 R2 NGC graded AU58. Glossy chocolate brown and steel with flowline luster covering the fields and protected areas on both sides. Looks choice to the unaided eye, but a glass reveals a small spot of corrosion at the dentil tips under both 1's in the date and a couple more tiny ones over NE in ONE. Each of these small spots has been smoothed to remove the verdigris. Otherwise this cent is beautiful. MDS, Breen state III, with a subtle bulge from the second 1 in the date through star 13 to star 12. Our grade is EF45 sharpness net EF40. Estimated Value $2,000-UP
