Lot 226
1809 S-280 R2 Turban Head NGC graded Unc Details, Improperly Cleaned. A sharp, attractive example, but it was lightly cleaned and has nicely retoned frosty medium olive brown and bluish steel. The only mark is a tiny planchet void right of the second S in STATES. M-LDS, Breen state VII, with several die cracks at the top of the reverse. Our grade is AU50+ net EF45+. An impressive example of this tough date in spite of the recoloring, and it comes with an important provenance.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
