1800/798 NC-6 R6+ Overdate 800 over 798, Style I Hair. PCGS
graded Good-6.
Slightly glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with
darker chocolate and olive brown toning in the fields and protected
areas. The devices are mostly smooth while microscopic granularity
covers the remainder of the planchet. No verdigris, only light contact
marks consistent with the grade. The notable marks are a fine hori-
zontal scratch through the jaw, a collection of fine scratches right of
the F in OF, and a minor void on the rim over TE in STATES. All the
marks blend perfectly into the natural toning. The date and legends are
not strong but they are complete and easily readable. Not graded by
Noyes or Bland.
Our grade is VG7 sharpness net G5

1801 S-213 R2. PCGS graded AU-58.
CAC APPROVED
. Frosty light to
medium chocolate brown and steel with lighter steel brown and tan toning
in protected areas and darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Peeps
of lustrous golden tan faded down from mint color can be found in protected
areas on the reverse. No spots or stains, only a few trivial contact marks. The
best identifying marks are a shallow nick-like planchet void in the field over
the hair ribbon and a dull horizontal nick nestled between the E in STATES and
the dentils above. Nicely struck MDS, Breen state IV. There is a die crack through ICA
to the denominator and sharp die clashmarks from the U to the denominator. The earlier
die cracks on both sides and the lumps in the field left of the hair ribbon are clear. A very nice
example of this variety. Graded EF40 and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #29467. Bland says EF45 and tied for CC#2 among
the confirmed examples in his census.
Our grade is EF45+, close to AU50.
