- Lot 113 1803 S-257 R2 Large Fraction. PCGS graded MS-60 Brown.Very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate with frosty golden tan faded down from mint color in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and this cent has mint state eye appeal in spite of a very light touch of rub on the highpoints. The only marks are three very tiny ticks in the field off the end of the nose, a small planchet flake in the field before the neck, and an arc of darker chocolate brown toning at D in UNITED. Nicely struck EDS, Breen state I, with clashmarks on both sides but no cracks. Graded MS60 net AU55 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #20968. Bland says AU55 and tied for CC#6. Our grade is AU58. Comes with a century-long provenance that includes some of the giants of early large cent collecting.
