The best identifying mark is a thin swipe of darker olive toning on the neck. MDS. The fields show fine radial die flowlines and there is some strike doubling on the nostril and lips, but the doubling isn't extensive enough to justify calling this cent a "double profile."

DWH #3420. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Chris McCawley, 2007 EAC Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 4/28/07:424. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $483
Lot 351		1831 N-9 R2 VG8. VG-8. Sharpness VF20 but afflicted with light to moderate corrosion that makes this cent something less than attractive. The uneven surfaces do have shallow verdigris in the thick dark greenish olive patina, which may have formed during burial in soil. It has that "look." However, the obverse displays lots of natural gloss and the reverse is far from matte. And the big plus is the die state. Extremely rare LDS with an internal cud break from star 3 to star 5 branching to the rim at star 5. Not quite the terminal state of the obverse die as the cud is retained and not fully raised between stars 4 & 5. DWH #3217. Estimated Value $200-UP.

Wright 1/04. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $58
Lot 356		1831 N-11 R2 VF25. Small Letters Reverse. VF-25. Five points sharper with a few too many light contact marks for the higher grade. The only notable marks are a fine vertical hairline scratch at the right side of the C in CENT and a dull rim nick at TE in UNITED. Attractive glossy medium brown and chocolate. MDS. A new die crack reaches up from the right center of the second S in STATES to the dentils above. The die cracks over TES are strong but the area outlined by those cracks has not started to rise as a retained cud. Removed from an NGC slab graded EF45 (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2931. Estimated Value $150-UP. Ex Jules Reiver, Heritage 1/24/06:19959. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $184
Lot 357		1831 N-11 R2 G5+. Small Letters Reverse. Good-5+. Very slightly sharper with too many light nicks for the higher grade.

Lot 359		1831 N-12 R1 EF45. EF-45. Glossy chocolate brown with delicate overtones of bluish steel in the obverse fields and frosty lighter steel brown in protected areas of the reverse. A few tiny nicks on the jawline, a small nick in the field close off the chin, and a few tiny hairline scratches over the E in ONE. EDS, but not quite the earliest. The obverse fields are smooth and slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die polishing. The obverse die cracks from the earlier N-11 marriage are light, but a fine die crack now connects the outer point of star 4 to the dentils and the crack from star 13 into the field near the date has an extension down to the dentils.

Lot 360		1831 N-12 R1 EF40. Double Profile. EF-40. Glossy chocolate and medium brown with small splashes of slightly darker olive brown scattered about the obverse and frosty luster in some protected areas. A tiny horizontal hairline under the stem tip is the best identifying mark. E-MDS. The obverse die cracks are stronger but the radial die crack from star 13 to the dentils has not formed. A clear double profile extends from the forehead down to the bottom of the neck (caused by die bounce). DWH #0783. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 12/4/84:1691. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $437
Lot 361		1831 N-12 R1 VF35. Partial Double Profile. VF-35. Glossy dark chocolate brown. A tiny nick over star 1 and a couple more right of the lips. MDS+. A radial die crack now extends from the outer point of star 13 to the dentils, and the area outlined by die cracks below star 13 is starting to rise, clearest on its left end. There is a slight double profile on the forehead, lips, and chin. DWH #0784. Estimated Value $200-UP. Ex Jack Robinson, Superior 1/29/89:966. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $368

A shallow lamination flake at the tip of the nose is the only notable mark. MDS++ with a raised cud break right of the date that touches the lower left point of star 13. An extremely rare intermediate die state, one of only two known with a "1-point cud."
