Popular 1811 Classic Large Cent, S-287, AU50

1811 1C AU50 PCGS. S-287, B-1, R.2. The recorded mintage for 1811 cents is a mere 218,025 pieces, quite small for a cent of this era. Only two die varieties are known, one having a normal date (S-287), and the other featuring a blundered date (S-286). The present coin is a representative of the more available S-287, with the normal date. This issue is often seen with dark surfaces and corrosion. The present coin has a pleasing dark olive color, with sharp detail and better than average eye appeal. There is a short scratch on the obverse from the headband into the field. The reverse shows some corrosion around the devices, typical of this issue. Overall, this coin is an attractive example of this popular date. EAC 35.
