1807 S-275 R3 Large Fraction. VF-35. Five points sharper but there is a splash of reddish toning in the hair under the E in LIBERTY and a fine hairline scratch from the junction of the neck and bust to the lowest curl left of the date. Otherwise the planchet is smooth and attractive offering excellent eye appeal for the grade. Frosty steel and olive brown with lots of frosty lighter steel brown toning in protected areas, especially on the reverse. A very nice example of a variety that is difficult to locate in high grade. MDS, Breen state II, showing faint die clashmarks at ES-O. Struck slightly off center to K-9. Called EF40 and tied for CC#5 in the Breen/Bland census. Noyes says EF40 net VF25 and tied for CC#12, his photo #37370. Comes with an impressive provenance. Estimated Value $1,500-UP. Ex Carl Wurtzbach-Dr. William H. Sheldon-Judge Thomas L. Gaskill, New Netherlands Coin Co. 11/56-Dorothy Paschal-Charles E. Harrison 8/91-Denis W. Loring 8/91-Tom Reynolds-Joe Renzi. Categories:
