1802 S-238 R4. PCGS graded EF-40.
Attractive glossy medium chocolate brown
and steel. The surfaces are smooth, void of any trace of roughness or verdigris. The
only marks are a few trivial nicks scattered over the obverse, mostly high on the
neck. A light diagonal nick through the top of the 8 is a good identifying mark.
MDS, Breen state III, with strong die clashmarks on the obverse and numerous
die cracks on the reverse. Graded VF30 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his
photo #34062. Bland says VF30 and tied for CC#1. We agree, VF30 is correct, and
the eye appeal is very nice for that grade. The attribution and Reynolds provenance
are noted on the PCGS Secure label.
Pop 1; 1 finer in 45 at PCGS for the variety.
Only 2 examples graded at PCGS
