covers the fields and protected areas on both sides. The notable

1812 S-288 R2 Turban Head, Large Date EF40
. Five
points sharper but the toning is a bit darker than you like to see
at this grade level. Frosty uniform olive and dark steel brown.
Attractive and virtually flawless. No spots or stains, and the only
mark is a tiny pinprick in the field off the upper right point of
star 2. Nicely struck MDS, Breen state II, with die clashmarks
inside the wreath and the rim flowing into the top of the legend
on the upper part of the reverse. A very attractive Turban Head
cent.

444
1812 S-289 R1 Turban Head, Large Date VF35
. Glossy
olive brown and steel. Frosty flowline luster covers the fields
and protected areas on both sides. The only marks are a tiny,
very shallow pit in the field above the head and a pair of faint
hairline scratches on the bust tip. LDS, Breen state IV. Flowlines
draw the outer points of the stars to the rim and the tops of
STATES OF are joined to the rim as well. An attractive example.
Removed from a PCGS slab graded XF40
(PCGS label
#1561.40/21492323 included, and it incorrectly states this is a
"Small Date" variety).
Estimated Value .................................................... $1,500-UP
