. Choice frosty chocolate brown and steel with slightly
lighter steel brown toning in protected areas. The fields and protected
areas are covered with satiny mint luster and this cent offers excellent
eye appeal. No spots or stains. The only marks, and they are barely
visible, are a thin nick in the field before the forelock and a dull, very
light scrape near the dentils under the end of the wreath stem. LDS,
Breen state IV. Most of the dentils are gone and many of the stars and
letters outside the wreath are drawn to the rim. In addition there is a
narrow but clearly defined rim cud at the U in UNITED. A very at-
tractive cent with just a light touch of rub on the highest points of the
hair.
Our grade is consistent with the PCGS grade.
The attribution
and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label.

1810 S-282 R2. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown.
CAC APPROVED
. Very attractive lustrous light
olive and chocolate brown with slightly lighter brown on the right side of the obverse. Hints of
faded mint color can be found in protected areas around the wreath. No spots or stains, nearly
flawless. A barely visible hairline on the jaw and a nick at the base of the inner point of star 5 are
the only notable marks, and they are very easy to miss. MDS Breen state III. There are a couple
light die cracks on the obverse and a raised ridge along the dentil tips over ATES OF. The stars
before the portrait do not show their radial lines while the ones behind the portrait are fully
struck, a result of dies that were out of proper axial alignment (the die faces were not perfectly
parallel). In addition the reverse is rotated 25 degrees CW. Graded MS60 and CC#2 with only
2 mint state examples in the Noyes census, his photo #39146. Bland says MS60 and CC#3.
Our
grade is MS60.
