Lot 478
1800/79 S-194 R3 Overdate 80 over 79 PCGS graded XF45. Frosty medium chocolate brown and steel with traces of lighter reddish tan faded down from mint color in protected areas on the obverse. A choice example if not for a couple planchet flaws on the reverse (as struck), and they resulted in a "Mint Error on Defective Planchet" designation on the PCGS label. A subtle spot of darker steel toning under the end of the chin and a diagonal nick in the field off the lower curls are the only other notable marks. LDS, Breen state VIII early, with extensive cud breaks and cracks at the bottom of the reverse. The overdate feature is obvious. Our grade is net VF30. PCGS population (for non-errors) is 1; 7 finer, 2 in 55, 1 in 62+, 3 in 63, 1 in 64+ for the variety. Estimate Value $2,000 - UP
