1803 Large Cent S-259 "Ghost 3", Rare Die State III
Reddish brown with darker fields. Well struck but porous with some small areas of verdigris reverse. "Ghost 3" variety with the bottom of the 3 very weak. Very rare die state, Breen state III, with the usual reverse crack at (E)D but also a strong crack above TAT to the rim, and a small internal cud between T and A. A very scarce variety at R4 and the first example I've handled in this die state.
