1803 S-264 R4+ Large Date, Small Fraction PCGS XF Details Environmental Damage
Sharpness near VF30 but most of the planchet shows fine roughness (although the right side of the obverse and the highpoints of the devices on both sides are mostly smooth). No verdigris and the only notable mark is a barely visible rim bruise at the second A in AMERICA. The eye appeal of this cent is decent, especially for a tough "Redbook" variety that often comes with significant problems. Partially glossy uniform medium chocolate brown. MDS, Breen state II, with the usual die cracks on both sides. The date is bold and the legends are complete and easily readable. Graded EF40 net F15 and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes census, his photo #29080. Bland says VF25 net F15 and tied for CC#5 in his census. Our grade is net F15. A significant example of this famous variety, and it comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
