^Lot 393 1803 S-249 R-2 F12

1803 S-249 R-2 F12A few points sharper, especially on the reverse, but there are traces of microscopic roughness and reddish verdigris on both sides. Mostly glossy light olive with reddish brown in protected areas. LDS, Breen state VI, with strong rim cuds at RIC and the bust tip. The most interesting feature of this cent, however, is a tiny "1" stamped into the edge below the date to indicate this is the Proskey-1 variety. (See the 1798 S-167 offered earlier in this sale for a similarly marked cent.)Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Robert Le Blanc (Le Blanc Numismatics)-Denis W. Loring 6/1982-Fred H.
