Lot 476
1803 S-243 R2+ Stemless Wreath with Double Fraction Bar. VG-8. A few points sharper but nicely retoned a glossy chocolate brown with some underlying lighter brown tones in protected areas of the reverse. There is a faint, thin scuff from the earlobe to the throat and a few very light, dull scratches on the upper reverse. None of these marks is at all distracting and the overall eye appeal of this cent is very nice for the grade. The date, legends, and stemless wreath error are all bold. EDS, Breen state II. Most of the die clashmarks at RICA have been lapped off the die, but the narrow rim cud right of the Y in LIBERTY has not formed. DWH #0281.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
