1807/6 S-273 R1 Overdate Large 7 over 6. PCGS
graded MS-62+ Brown.
Lustrous golden tan and light
steel brown with darker steel brown and chocolate toning
on the highpoints. Hints of very faded mint color can
be found in protected areas on both sides and this cent
offers very nice eye appeal. The only marks are a spot
of dark toning on the left top of the T in LIBERTY and
another nestled under the curl below the hair ribbon.
Both spots are inconspicuous but can help identify this
cent. LDS, Breen state IV, with a clearly defined rim cud
over STA extending at least halfway to the adjacent D in
UNITED. The die clashmarks are strong and bulges show
in the field behind the lower curls. The overdate feature
is obvious. Graded AU55 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes
census, his photo #61028. Not seen by Bland.
Our grade
is MS60
. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are
noted on the PCGS Secure label.
Pop 2; 2 finer at PCGS
for the variety, 1 in MS64 and 1 in MS65
(PCGS #
36442)
Estimated Value .............................................. $12,000-UP

1807 S-274 R2 Small Fraction. PCGS graded AU-53.
Very attractive glossy
chocolate brown and steel with peeps of frosty lighter steel brown toning in pro-
tected areas on the reverse. A beautiful cent displaying very light friction on the
highpoints and only a few trivial signs of contact. The notable marks are a light
diagonal nick on the throat, another in the field left of the lower curls, and a very
dull pinprick over the right side of the 0 in the date. MDS Breen state III, showing
clear die clashmarks on both sides. There is a die crack from the bottom of the first
S in STATES to the leaf under the adjacent T and another down from the dentils
between the T & A. The area at STA is raised causing some weakness on those
letters but everything else is nicely struck. Graded EF40 and tied for CC#2 in the
Noyes census, his photo #38863. Not seen by Bland.
Our grade is EF40 choice
. The
attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label.
