Lot 516
1803 S-260 R1 Large Fraction. VF-35. Choice glossy steel brown and chocolate with traces of satiny mint frost remaining in protected areas. The only marks are a light diagonal nick in the center of the neck and another in the field before the neck. MDS, Breen state IV, with a clear and relatively strong rim cud break at S-OF. The only example known to this cataloger showing the rim cud. Called VF35 choice and tied for CC#19 by Noyes, his photo #21039. A beautiful example of a common die variety, which may explain why several "advanced" collectors of large cents once owned this coin. DWH #2842.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
