The bottom of the 03 is weak and the denominator is essentially gone, but the rest of the date and most of the legends on the reverse are clear. Our grade is AG3 .

 PROSKEY “19” DIE VARIETY

yes LOT 262 1803 S-265 R4 Large Date and Fraction G5+ . A couple points sharper with fine granularity under rather glossy light olive brown toning. The roughness is strongest on the reverse. The highpoints are a lighter shade of brown and some reddish brown shows in protected areas around the portrait. Just a couple trivial marks including a rim nick left of the lowest curl and a tiny “19” punched into the edge at the top of the reverse (most likely for the Proskey #19 die variety). Pieces with the Proskey number on the edge are especially rare today. EDS with uncracked dies.
