Description
Pleasing 1805 S-269 Cent
1805 1C AU55 NGC. XF40 EAC. S-269, Die State IV, R.1. Although S-267 and S-269 are both considered Rarity-1 varieties, this S-269 is much scarcer. Of all 1805 large cents, perhaps 70% are S-267, 25% are S-269, and the remaining 5% are S-268. When Denis Loring bought this coin, it was to resell to a local dealer, but his envelope tells the rest of the story: "Bought at a local show to sell to Worthy, but the color was nicer than my incumbent 1805. So I'm -$175 instead of +$20. That's the way it goes in this business." The color is special, indeed. A base of olive-brown serves as a backdrop for chocolate brown and lighter gold, faded from original red. This is sharply struck and nicely centered. The surfaces are choice with few blemishes of any sort.Ex: Denis W. Loring (1/84).(#1510) (Registry values: N1793)
