Lot 56
1807 S-273 R1 Overdate Large 7 over 6 PCGS graded MS63+ Red & Brown. Beautiful lustrous steel brown and chocolate faded down from mint red with 10% of the slightly faded mint color remaining on the obverse, 15% on the reverse. Virtually flawless except for some of the usual strike weakness associated with the late die state. A tiny pinprick over the C in AMERICA is the best identifying mark, and it is barely visible. LDS, Breen state IV. The dies are worn and display strong clashmarks, and a horizontal die crack extends into the field from the dentils left of the lower curls. In addition a narrow rim cud break shows over ST in STATES. The face is not fully impressed and the opposing leaves under RICA also are softly struck, but the remainder of the designs are well struck. This is a very attractive example of a popular overdate variety, certainly one of the finest available. Noyes photo #58167. Our grade is MS62. The attribution and Koshkarian provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only MS Red Brown example graded at both services. Estimate Value $15,000 - UP
