Date: 1802Glossy chocolate brown and steel. The surfaces are smooth, free of any trace of corrosion or verdigris, but there are some marks. There are a half dozen old, very fine pin scratches on the obverse and a couple more on the reverse. These scratches are blended perfectly into the attractive toning, but they do catch your eye. Otherwise the only notable mark is a dull pit or chip in the field behind the head. This would be an unremarkable cent if not for the very impressive die state. Semi-unique terminal die state, Breen VII, with a strong cud break at ES-OF. The date is clear and the cud is prominent. The other example is the Dan Holmes coin that brought $948.75 in the 9/6/2009 McCawley & Grellman/Goldberg sale as lot 434. Graded G6 net G4 and tied for CC#1 of 2 known with the full cud break in the Noyes census, his photo #60538. Our grade is G4+ net AG3, this piece being the sharper of the 2 examples. Another prize for the serious collector of important die states. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS label.36290.95/32782918Ex Thomas D.
