Lot 17
1840 N-12 R1 Small Date MS60. Frosty light steel brown with nearly 10% of the mint red remaining, mostly on the reverse. Would grade a point or two higher but there is a small diagonal nick over star 12 and light rim nicks between stars 7 & 8. E-MDS, die state a. The die defect under the base of the 1 is clear but the fine die lines at NITE and ER on the reverse are blurry. Tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. DWH #2010.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
