Description

1803 S-252 Cent, AU58
Small Date, Small Fraction

1803 1C S-252 R2 AU58 PCGS. Glossy light olive brown and chocolate. Frosty luster covers the protected areas and this cent has excellent eye appeal. Smooth with just a touch of friction on the devices and trivial marks. A shallow planchet flake left of the nostril, a tick near the dentils before the mouth, and a small diagonal nick in the field off the curl under the hair ribbon are the best identifying marks. MDS, Breen state III, with fine die cracks at the date but no cracks on the reverse. This cataloger's EAC grade is AU50. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label (36371.58/16999283). PCGS population attributed as S-252: 2 in AU58 (1 in 58+); 3 finer (10/24).
