1803 S-257 R2 Small Date, Large Fraction VG8. A couple points sharper with very fine granularity under rather glossy chocolate brown and steel toning. No marks or verdigris. The eye appeal is decent in spite of the imperfect surfaces. LDS, Breen state V, with a large retained cud break that effectively obliterates STATES. An impressive die state for an otherwise common die variety.

1804 S-266c R2 VG8. Glossy light chocolate brown and steel. No roughness or verdigris and only a few minor marks. The most notable mark is a small planchet fissure on the rim left of the L in LIBERTY and this void extends through to the rim at TE in UNITED.

1803 S-248 R4 VF25. A "Mumps" variety. Five points sharper but there are a few light, old scratches from the face near the eye into the hair at the left, all blended perfectly into the toning. In addition there is a dull diagonal nick under the curl on the neck, a small horizontal nick on the front edge of the neck, and a small collection of pinpricks near the dentils left of the denominator. Glossy light olive brown and chocolate. The eye appeal of this cent is excellent in spite of the minor marks. Nicely struck EDS, Breen state I. The "Mumps" break at the throat is strong, the Doubled Fraction Bar is clear, and the reverse is uncracked. A very nice example of this tough variety, and it comes with an interesting provenance.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.

1804 S-266b R5 ANACS graded VG Details, Cleaned. Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with slightly lighter highpoints from a delicate cleaning. The surfaces are smooth except for traces of very light roughness at the top of the reverse. A dent in the center of the obverse created a minor bulge in the center of the reverse causing extra wear on EN in CENT. The date and legends are complete and easily readable although a couple letters are weak. Rare M-LDS, Breen state III, with a cud break at RTY but no cud at MERIC. Our grade is VG7 sharpness net G5. A decent low-grade 1804 cent in spite of the minor dent. The attribution is shown on the ANACS label.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
