Lot 228
1810 S-284 R3 Turban Head AU50. Sharpness closer to mint state and the eye appeal is outstanding, but a strong glass reveals a few very faint horizontal hairline scratches above and below CENT plus a couple more even fainter ones in the field left of star 10. The obverse is choice lustrous light to medium steel brown with slightly darker steel brown highpoints and a hint of reddish steel brown toning on the lips. The reverse is glossy chocolate brown with lustrous lighter steel brown covering the protected areas. M-LDS, Breen state III, with die clashmarks visible on both sides. Called MS60 net AU50 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #34004. A beautiful, lustrous 1810 cent in spite of the faint marks.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
