1802 S-231 R1 Stemless Wreath PCGS graded XF45. Glossy olive brown delicately mottled with lighter chocolate tones on both sides. The surfaces are smooth and show only a few trivial contact marks including a fine pin scratch below ICA and another under the fraction. MDS, Breen state IV. There is a fork in the die crack extending down from the earlier crack in the field before the chin. The Stemless Wreath feature is obvious. An attractive example of this popular "Redbook" type, and it was the finest example of the die variety in the famous Holmes collection. Our grade is VF30. The attribution and Fricke provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 5; 7 finer for the variety. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
