1803 S-264 R4+ Large Date, Small Fraction Fair-2. Slightly sharper but there are a few dozen small pits scattered over the obverse. No verdigris but the remainder of the planchet is covered with microscopic granularity under attractive glossy medium chocolate brown and steel toning. The only contact marks are a scuff of shallow scratches from the rim at the top of the obverse down into the hair where they fade away. The date is complete and easily readable although the 3 is weak. The rim is wearing into the legend on the reverse and the denominator of the fraction is gone, but the numerator is still visible. LDS, Breen state III, with a raised retained cud break obliterating STA. An easily attributable example of this very tough "Redbook" variety.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.

1807/6 S-273 R1 Overdate Large 7 over 6 VF25. Sharper by at least 10 points but the obverse fields were burnished and the color is now a very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate. The only marks are a small planchet flake on the right top of the T in LIBERTY and a small rim dent left of the first S in STATES. M-LDS, Breen state III, with swelling in the field at the lower curls. Struck with the obverse die slightly misaligned to K-4. The overdate is bold. Nice eye appeal in spite of the burnished obverse fields.
Estimated Value $200-UP.

1803 S-258 R1 Small Date, Large Fraction F15. Attractive glossy medium chocolate brown. No notable defects but there is some loose dirt caked into the most-protected areas on the reverse.

Estimated Value $150-UP.

1805 S-267 R1 VF20+. Choice glossy light chocolate brown and steel. A beautiful cent, nearly flawless. A tiny rim nick over the left top of the T in LIBERTY and a barely visible rim nick left of that L are the best identifying marks, and they are trivial. Nicely struck E-MDS, Breen state II, with die clashmarks at the throat. Close to VF25.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
