Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1803 S-243 R2 Stemless Wreath PCGS graded VF30. Glossy medium chocolate brown with lighter steel brown and chocolate toning on the devices. The only defects are a few small rim nicks on the reverse, including a couple over ES in STATES and another over the E in AMERICA. None of these marks is at all distracting and the eye appeal of this cent is quite nice. MDS, Breen state III, with a narrow rim cud break right of the Y in LIBERTY. The Stemless Wreath and Doubled Fraction Bar features are obvious. Our grade is F15. The "No Stems" feature is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
