CONDITION CENSUS S-213 EX DOUG SMITH-ROBBIE BROWN

LOT 272 1801 S-213 R2 PCGS graded AU58, CAC Approved . Frosty light to medium chocolate brown and steel with lustrous lighter steel brown and tan toning in protected areas. Slightly darker steel brown toning shows on the highpoints. No spots or stains, only a few trivial contact marks. The best identifying marks are a shallow nick-like planchet void in the field over the hair ribbon and a dull horizontal nick nestled between the E in STATES and the dentils above. Nicely struck MDS, Breen state IV. There is a die crack through ICA to the denominator and sharp die clashmarks from the U to the denominator. The earlier die cracks on both sides and the lumps in the field left of the hair ribbon are clear. A very nice example of this variety. Graded EF40 and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #29467. Bland says EF45 and tied for CC#2 among the confirmed examples in his census. Our grade is EF45+ , close to AU50. 36236.58/32788779 Ex New Netherlands Coin Co. #15, 11/16/1960:399-C.
