1803 S-263 R3 Small Fraction. VF-30. Five points sharper with a small pinprick in the center of the neck and a nick-like planchet chip at the right top of the E in LIBERTY, as struck. The obverse is glossy steel and olive brown while the reverse is a glossy but rather mottled mix of steel, chocolate and reddish chocolate with frosty light brown and tan toning in protected areas. LDS, Breen state VI, with a strong cud break connecting the base of the date to the rim below and a fine die crack from the lower part of that 3 to the bust at right. Rather softly struck at LIBERTY and at the opposing fraction, but everything else is strong. DWH #3094.
