1804 S-266c R2 VF25. Sharpness at least EF45, and you could make a good argument that this cent never saw circulation at all, but the planchet is covered with uniform very fine granularity. No verdigris, and the only mark is a microscopic pinprick in the field left of the lowest curl. Frosty dark steel gray with subtle overtones of light bluish steel. Sharply struck LDS, Breen state IV, with bold rim cud breaks at RTY and MERIC. Great detail, especially for this tough date, and the eye appeal is decent in spite of the imperfect surfaces.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
