The surfaces are covered with satiny mint frost and the eye appeal is excellent. A microscopic tick at the top of the ear and a small planchet flake under star 3 are the best identifying marks. The slightest hint of friction on the highest points from mint state. MDS, die state c, with a die crack from the rim through the I in AMERICA to the T in CENT. Removed from an NGC slab graded MS65 Brown (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution). Estimated Value $300-UP. Ex J. R.

Lot 514		1843 N-12 R1. EF-40. Petite Head with Small Letters Reverse. Glossy dark olive and steel with chocolate toning on some of the highpoints. Most likely lightly cleaned and retoned, but the eye appeal is quite nice. Smooth surfaces, just a few trivial contact marks of no significance. Rare M-LDS, die state c, with rim cud breaks at U and NIT. These rim cud breaks are not strong but the margins remain visible. Estimated Value $80-UP. Ex Fun Show bourse 1/98-Phyllis Thompson.

Lot 515		1843 N-15 R3. EF-45 Plus. Petite Head with Small Letters Reverse. Sharpness near mint state but there are a half dozen dull pinpricks or planchet chips on the cheek and upper neck plus another in the field off the tip of the nose. Highly lustrous chocolate and dark bluish steel brown with traces of mint color showing on both sides. This cent looks choice mint state except for the pinpricks/chips, but they can't be ignored. LDS, die state b. Both dies are well worn and the fine die line at the N in ONE is gone. Estimated Value $150-UP. Ex Chris McCawley-R. S. Brown, Jr., McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 6/1/98:494-Chris McCawley 3/04-Phyllis Thompson. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $552
