Extremely Rare S-195 With Cud

1800/79 S-195 R5 Overdate 80 over 79, Style II Hair.
PCGS graded EF-40.
Glossy dark steel brown and
chocolate with traces of frosty tan and lighter steel
brown in protected areas. No roughness or verdigris,
and the eye appeal is excellent, but there are a few light
contact marks. The notable ones are a dull diagonal nick
in the field under the hair ribbon, a couple nicks over
the 180, and a light rim bruise under the 8 in the date.
MDS, Breen state III. The die crack at CA extends to the
center of the adjacent I. A nice example of this tough
die variety. The overdate feature is obvious.
Our grade
is VF30 net VF25
, which would place this piece in the
lower half of the top 6 in the condition census. The attri-
bution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS
Secure label.

1800/79 S-195 R5 Overdate 80 over 79, Style II Hair. PCGS graded Fine-
15.
Rather glossy steel brown and medium chocolate blending to darker olive
brown in protected areas. The surfaces appear smooth but a glass reveals a few
spots of microscopic roughness on the reverse. Only minor contact marks, in-
cluding a pair of extremely light hairline scratches from the forehead to the chin
and a thin nick right of the ear. Extremely rare LDS, Breen state IV, with a cud
break right of the Y in LIBERTY. A later state is known with this cud extending
left involving the TY, and the die crack that outlines that larger cud is present on
this coin. Graded VG10 net VG7 and finest of only 2 known in the Noyes cen-
sus, his photo #60434.
Our grade is F12 sharpness net VG10
. The attribution
and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label.
