1803 S-264 R4+ Large Date, Small Fraction. PCGS
graded Fine-15.
Rather glossy steel brown and chocolate
with darker steel and olive brown toning in the protected
areas. No corrosion or verdigris, only light contact marks
consistent with the grade. The notable marks are a dull
nick at the back of the head close to the ribbon knot and
another vertical nick in the field off the lower end of the
hair ribbon. LDS, Breen state III late. STA in STATES is
obliterated and that area is significantly raised as part
of a retained cud. The latest state seen by this cataloger.
The date and remainder of the legends are complete and
clear. A nice example of this very popular “Redbook”
variety (most come with significant defects, especially
corrosion and verdigris). Not seen by Noyes or Bland.
Our grade is VG10
. The attribution and Reynolds
provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label.
