1803 S-261 R2 Small 3, Large Fraction EF40
Five points sharper but there are traces of faint roughness at RTY and an obvious planchet flake at the bottom of the denominator (as struck but distracting nonetheless). Frosty medium steel brown with hints of light reddish steel on the obverse and a puff of dark olive brown toning in the hair left of the neck. Lustrous lighter steel brown shows in protected areas on the reverse. E-MDS, Breen state II, with a fine die crack up between the 8 & 0 to the shoulder. Graded EF45 net VF35 and tied for CC#9 in the Noyes census, his photo #23195. Bland says EF40 and CC#9 in his census.
