1812 Small Date (S-290) NGC XF details/corrosion.

Fairly heavy corrosion roughens up the appearance from either side, which is too bad since the details remain tantalizingly sharp at the commercial XF level. Dark on the obverse, with a little better... |

1812 (S-288) "large date" VF details/cleaned/obverse scratches.

1812 small date (S-291, R.2) PCGS VF-30.
|
Strong flowlines dominate the texture, and suggest Breen's die-state III, and for that matter, most of the denticles are positively mushy even taking into account the off-center strike. Despite the... |

1812 Large Date (S289, R-1). AU details/recolored .

1812 Large Date (S-288, R-2) AU BN.

1812 Small Date (S-290, R-1). AU details.
