Lot 1221
1854 N-23 R2 PCGS graded "Genuine." Glossy chocolate with wisps of darker olive and steel on the obverse. The obverse is covered with faint hairlines that do not break the toning and a dull scratch is hidden in the dentils over TES in STATES. The dentils between stars 11 & 12 are very weak due to a minor planchet clip at that spot, as struck. M-LDS, die state b. The die line at star 11 is gone and the fields are covered with fine radial die flowlines. Called VF35 by Noyes, his photo #55061. Our grade is EF40.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex Henry C. Hines-Willard C. Blaisdell 9/76 (via Del Bland).
