^Lot 384 1802 S-238 R-4 F15+

1802 S-238 R-4 F15+Slightly sharper with very nice eye appeal, but a glass reveals extremely faint roughness in the obverse fields. No verdigris and just a couple trivial marks including a small rim nick left of the L and a thin vertical nick at the left foot of the N in ONE (which is very easy to miss). Glossy steel brown and light olive blending to medium chocolate in protected areas. This cent has nice eye appeal for the grade. Rare EDS, Breen state I early, with an uncracked reverse. Graded VF20 net F15 and tied for CC#19 in the Noyes census, his photo #26172. To the best of our knowledge this is the finest example with an uncracked reverse. Comes with a nice provenance.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Oscar J. Pearl, Numismatic Gallery 1944 FPL, lot 175 (plated)-Charles M.
