Lot 510
1803 S-257 R2 Large Fraction. VF-25. Rather glossy dark olive and steel brown. A strong glass reveals extremely faint granularity under the natural patina, but there are no marks and the only verdigris appears to be soft and confined to protected areas. Very scarce late die state, Breen state V, with a slightly raised retained cud break at the top of the reverse that severely weakens STATES and the opposing details at the 18 and lowest curl. Removed from a PCI slab graded EF40 (PCI label included). DWH #3414.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
