<B>1803 1C Small Date, Large Fraction MS64 Brown PCGS.</B></I> S-258, B-17, R.1. Die State III. The obverse has a fine arcing die crack through the 1 and lower hair details to the border at 9 o'clock. Both sides have faded clash marks. There is no evidence of the obverse die bulge that develops in State IV. Lustrous chocolate-brown and olive on the obverse, with reddish-brown and steel on the reverse. Both sides show wisps of iridescent toning. The impression is sharp and nicely centered, with few imperfections. The reverse has a tiny surface pit midway between the D and S, just inside the border. Although Breen mentions a small hoard in his Large Cent Encyclopedia, he gives no further clues. Today, true Mint State survivors are elusive.
