Lot 526
1803 S-264 R4+ Large Date with Small Fraction. VF-25. Plated in Newcomb and Noyes. Ten points sharper but dark with extremely fine roughness hidden under a very glossy dark olive and steel patina. There is some very faint reddish carbon scale on the obverse, mostly on the bust and in the field above. The only notable marks are a tiny planchet chip between the E & R in LIBERTY, a couple even smaller pinpricks left of that L, and a couple tiny chips or pitmarks in the raised retained cud at ST in STATES. LDS, Breen state III. The die cracks on both sides are strong and the retained cud break at STAT has completely obliterated the ST and severely weakened the A. Removed from a PCGS slab graded VF30 (PCGS label included, and the label notes the Large Date with Small Fraction variety). Plated in the Newcomb book on the cents of 1801-1803, and this is the Noyes plate coin for the variety. Called VF35 net VF25 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, photo #21264. Bland says net VF25 and CC#1 by itself. An outstanding example of this very famous and popular "Redbook" variety. PCGS Population 1; One finer in VF35 at PCGS for the variety. DWH #2816.
Estimated Value $30,000-UP.
