Description

1804 S-266 Cent, XF40
Early Die State

1804 1C S-266, B-1, R.2, XF40 NGC. Breen Die State II, traditionally attributed as S-266a. This early strike from the S-266 dies lacks the obverse rim break over RTY of the intermediate state (Breen state III), nor the reverse rim break over MERIC found on late state (Breen state IV) coins. This example is nicely detailed and finer than most survivors. Light tan appears on the high points with bluish-steel and olive patina. Although slight surface roughness is evident on both sides, this piece earned an NGC numerical grade. Census: 2 in 40, 11 finer (7/24).
