1803 S-264 R4+ Large Date, Small Fraction Fair-2. Sharpness G6, even better on the reverse, but this cent has been banged up quite a bit. It is bent, slightly rough, and has some significant rim dents. On the good side of the ledger the date and legends remain readable (including the Small Fraction) and the color is a decent and somewhat glossy chocolate and bluish steel fading to darker olive brown in protected areas. LDS, Breen state III, with heavy swelling at STA where the die has cracked and produced a significantly raised retained cud. An acceptable hole-filler for the very tough Large Date/Small Fraction type. Estimated Value $1,000-UP
