Description
Desirable 1807 S-275 Cent
1807 1C Large Fraction. AU53 PCGS. S-275, B-5, R.3. Bland VF35; tied for CC-9. Noyes VF35; tied for CC-5. Photo #26864. Our EAC Grade VF35.Equivalents. Proskey 4; Doughty 206; McGirk 5A; Clapp 5; EAC 5; Encyclopedia 1772; PCGS #1516.
Variety. Blunt 1 close to curl. ER high above hair. Large Fraction. The obverse appears on S-274 and S-275. The reverse appears on S-275 and S-276.
Surfaces. Olive and dark brown with steel and maroon patina on the reverse. The usual quota of minor abrasions and handling marks is visible on each side, but none are significant.
Die State I. An early die state with minor obverse clash marks and a faint reverse bulge between OF and A.
Census. Although not quite as rare as S-274, the S-275 die marriage is also an elusive issue that is troublesome in higher grades. Mint State survivors are nonexistent, and only two AU pieces are recorded in Bland's Census. This example falls short of the XF grade level but it is still in the top 10 for the variety.
Provenance. Henry C. Miller (Thomas Elder, 4/1917), lot 806, $72; "GAR"; M.L. Kaplan (12/1954); C. Douglas Smith; George Ramont; Fred Borcherdt (2000).
Personality. By 1952, Max L. Kaplan was recognized as an old hand at the coin game, and his reputation only grew with time. In 1955, Kaplan helped found the Associated Coin Auction Company, which presented the Warfield collection early in its existence. Among his later credentials was a stint on the Professional Numismatists Guild board of directors.
