Ralph Rucker Collection Fixed Price Pt II

S-257/S-258



LOT 353

1803 S-257 R2 Large Fraction VF20 Slightly sharper but there are a few marks including a dull nick on the throat, a couple light nicks left of the hair ribbon, and a small patch of microscopic roughness right of the D in UNITED. Rather glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Sharply struck EDS, Breen state I, without any die cracks. An attractive cent in spite of the minor defects. $850

LOT 354 1803 S-258 R1 Large Fraction F15 Sharpness EF45 but there are patches of corrosion on both sides, strongest on the left side of the reverse. In addition there are numerous scratches around UNITED where corrosion was removed, and the effort lacked finesse. Other faint scratches can be found on both sides. Mostly glossy dark olive and steel with reddish brown toning in protected areas. M-LDS, Breen state III late, with an arcing die crack from the 1 through the lower curls to the rim left of the lower end of the hair ribbon. Subtle swelling is starting to show in the field outlined by the crack. $500
