Large Cents 1802 NC-1 R5+ EF45. <b>The obverse is glossy dark steel brown with frosty tan and light brown in protected areas. The reverse is a more equal mix of the same colors and displays lots of original mint luster. The surfaces are smooth and the obverse fields are somewhat prooflike and covered with fine vertical die polishing lines from a fresh lapping. The only marks are a small planchet void in the field left of the lower ribbon end (as struck), a trail of microscopic abrasions in the field up from the bust tip (visible only if the light hits them just right), and a light hairline scratch in the field left of the first S in STATES. LDS, Breen state IV. The bisecting obverse die crack is bold. Called EF45 and finest known by a wide margin in both census lists. Plated in the Noyes and Breen books. This is a great cent!</b> Ex C.
