1803 S-261 R2 Small Date, Large Fraction VG10. Sharpness VF20 but the planchet is covered with fine granularity that dulls the natural gloss. There are a couple fine scratches hidden in the toning left of the L in LIBERTY, a tiny speck of raised verdigris in the field off the chin, plus a couple light scratches over CENT and a few more through the denominator. Dark olive brown and steel with lighter steel brown toning covering the devices. Looks nicer than it might sound. M-LDS, Breen state IV. A die crack reaches from the dentils between the 8 & 0 in the date arcing through the curls and hair ribbon to the rim.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Holmes Historical Coins 9/2003.
