- Lot 85 1801 S-221 R2 Corrected Denominator 100 over 000. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown.Very attractive glossy light to medium chocolate brown with traces of very faded mint red showing on the reverse. Sharply struck with smooth, very slightly reflective fields on both sides thanks to a fresh die polishing. A beautiful cent, free of any spots or stains and showing only a few trivial contact marks. The notable ones are a couple light ticks in the field over the hair ribbon, a tiny rim nick over the L in LIBERTY, and a diagonal tick or chip over the left top of the T in CENT. E-MDS, Breen state II, with fine die clashmarks on both sides but no crumbling in the dentils at F-A. This is the Breen plate coin for the variety in his 2000 large cent encyclopedia. Graded MS60 and CC#1 as the only mint state example in the Noyes census, his photo #20949. Bland says MS60 and tied for CC#2. Our grade is MS62. Arguably the finest example of this popular "Redbook" variety, and the Corrected Denominator error is obvious to the unaided eye. The attribution and Doug Bird Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer and the only MS graded at PCGS.(PCGS # 36284) Value $25,000 - UP Ex Virgil M.
