<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 3014419, member: 21705&quot;]I&#039;m really getting off the rails.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a common S-229, but it&#039;s higher grade than I usually get and is even straight grades VG10 by PCGS. But it intrigues me because, despite it&#039;s being called a Die State I which is rare enough, it actually appears to be a die state between II and III having the crumbling N(T) of S-227 III specifically stated as absent in I and not mentioned in II which is also rare. But the obverse does not show any trace of the ARC crack through LIBERTY of III.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the presumed emission sequence described on a S-227 die state III.</p><p><br /></p><p>The emission sequence is a little confusing: S-226, NC-1, S-229 States I and II, S-227, <span style="color: #ff0000">This coin fits here</span>, S-229 State III, NC-2, and S-229 States IV through VII. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]748157[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Up for your consideration is a 1802 Large Cent PCGS VG10, S-229. </b> Breen Die State I. The slightly glossy chocolate and steel-brown surfaces show a thin scratch on the neck and a small planchet void in the right obverse field.
