Lot 195
1802 S-225 R3. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. CAC. Lustrous tan and light golden brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Looks mint state but there is a trace of friction on the highest points of the devices. The only mark is a spot of darker toning (not carbon) right of the bottom of the second S in STATES. Nicely struck E-MDS, Breen state III, with die clashmarks on the obverse and fine cracks on the reverse. The cud break under the date has not formed. Graded AU55 by Del Bland and tied for CC#8 in his census. Noyes says AU55 net AU50 and CC#8, his photo #39389. Our grade is AU55+, very close to AU58. Comes with a nice provenance that has been traced back well over a century. The attribution and Great Pacific Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 2 finer in 63.
