- Lot 329 1807 S-271 R1 "Comet" Obverse. PCGS graded AU-55.Frosty medium steel brown and light chocolate. Mint luster covers the protected areas on both sides and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only notable marks are a couple tiny puffs of darker olive brown toning in the field before the neck, a shallow planchet flake on the throat near the jaw, and a tiny planchet chip in the field well above the bust tip. MDS, Breen state IV. The "Comet" flaw in the field behind the head is obvious and additional linear flaws are visible in the obverse fields. A very shallow low spot shows in the field before the neck (caused by lubricant on the die). This is the Breen plate coin for die state IV in his encyclopedia on early large cents. Graded AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#8 in the Noyes census, his photo #36337. Bland says AU50 and tied for CC#8. Our grade is AU50+. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Nancy & Bryan Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 9 finer: 3 in 58, 4 in 63, 1 in 64, 1 in 65.(PCGS # 36454) Value $12,500 - UP Ex New Netherlands Coin Co. (privately) 1960-Mrs. R. Henry Norweb, Bowers & Merena 11/14/1988:2836-J.
