1808 1C MS62 Brown Uncertified.<p>S-278, R.3. Die State Four. The Philadelphia Mint continued to receive copper planchets from the Birmingham, England firm of Boulton & Wyatt in 1808, but the quality of these blanks was not on par with those of earlier shipments. As a result, many examples of S-277, S-278, and S-279 are dark and/or porous, even in high grades. Not so the present BU representative. This coin is evenly toned in medium intensity chocolate-brown color. The strike is typical of the variety with suitably bold definition in the centers and softer detail in most peripheral areas. Sprays of deeper color are noted in the right obverse field and on the reverse between STATES and OF. A series of four small indentations in the lower reverse field are the most obvious pedigree markers. According to Tom Reynolds, and based on EAC grading standards, this coin is tied for the # 14 Condition Census ranking for S-278. This lot includes PCGS insert #21016682 that also grades this coin MS62 Brown.Ex: Dorothy Paschal, via Ray Chatham; Tom Steinmetz; George Blenker (1/15/78); Robert G. Schick.
