1808 (S-177, Breen-1 (Die State IV), R.2) VF-30. 1808 (S-177, Breen-1 (Die State IV), R.2) VF-30.
Lot Title: 1808 (S-177, Breen-1 (Die State IV), R.2) VF-30.
Description: Quite decent from the standpoint of planchet stock, since so many Classic Head cents suffer infamously from corrosion and environmental effects. Walnut-brown surfaces appear to be a little "dry" and might benefit from a proper EAC brushing, but that is not a service provided by the Scotsman Auction Company! Rich details suggest the VF-30 grade, yet careful copper enthusiasts will note a thin, old horizontal scratch at Liberty's forehead, and another diagonal hairline scratch at 2:00, along with a dig in the rim above the eight star. A fully original coin, with nice, dirty grunge worked into the lettering of the denomination on the reverse.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

1808 (S-279, R-1) and 1809 (S-280, R-2).
