204 1800 S-209 R3 VF25+. Glossy medium chocolate brown and
steel. Smooth and free of verdigris showing only light contact
marks consistent with the grade. The notable ones are a rim
nick right of the Y in LIBERTY, another nick high on the neck,
and a fine scratch from the N in CENT to the first A in AMERICA.
Nicely struck MDS, Breen state III, with strong die clashmarks
on the obverse and a die crack at RICA.

205 1800 S-209 R3 F12+. Sharpness VF20 and the eye appeal is
excellent, but a glass reveals microscopic roughness in the
fields and protected areas. No contact marks. Glossy dark choc-
olate brown with medium chocolate toning on the devices. LDS,
Breen state VII, with strong die clashmarks under the hair rib-
bon, obvious swelling at RTY in LIBERTY, and a narrow rim cud
break just right of the denominator. Struck very slightly off cen-
ter to K-6 leaving the bottom of the date tight to the edge of the
planchet. Nice for the grade in spite of the imperfect surfaces,
close to F15 overall.

brown and lighter steel with traces of light brown and tan faded
down from mint color in a few of the protected areas. No rough-
ness or verdigris, only trivial contact marks. A faint nearly verti-
cal scratch in the field off the lower end of the hair ribbon and a
tiny pinprick over the second 0 in the denominator are the best
identifying marks. Nicely struck M-LDS, Breen state VII, with
numerous die cracks at ERTY into the field before the face and
strong die clashmarks at the fraction and UN in UNITED. Graded
VF35 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF30 and tied for CC#8.
Comes with a nice provenance that has been traced back over
