Description

Early Die State 1803 S-254 Cent, AU58

1803 1C Small Date, Small Fraction AU58 PCGS. S-254, B-13, R.2. This early die state cent fails to match either of Breen's first two die states, but appears to be intermediate between the two states. The reverse has several sets of clash marks that Breen describes in State I, and the obverse has the clash marks of his State II, but has no trace of the obverse or reverse die cracks also described for State II. The obverse has olive-brown surfaces with some splashes of maroon, along with light tan luster that is faded from mint red. The reverse is darker brown, retaining considerable cartwheel luster. MRB XF45.(Registry values: N1793)
