1802 S-235 R3 PCGS graded MS62 Brown, CAC ApprovedThe obverse is a very attractive lustrous light to medium steel brown and tan with underlying very faded mint red peeking through in protected areas. The reverse is a more subdued frosty light olive and steel brown with sea-green overtones and lighter brown and tan in protected areas. The highpoints are free of rub and the only marks are a few small planchet chips on the bust and very light abrasions at the top of the wreath. M-LDS, Breen state V, with a strong rim cud break at RTY. The bust tip and the opposing area around OF are softly struck (as usual in this die state), but everything else is nicely detailed. The fine hair details near the forehead and face are especially sharp. Graded AU55 and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #39966. Bland says AU55 and tied for CC#3. Our grade is AU58+, very close to MS60. A great cent with a complicated but impressive provenance.Certificate Number: 36314.62/32982299Pedigree: Ex John P. Lyman, S. H.
