Lot 330
1828 N-11 R2 EF45. Five points sharper but there are a few very fine scratches well hidden in the hair at the top of the ear and a couple similar marks in the hair above the eye. Otherwise the notable marks are a horizontal nick on the jaw and a shallow planchet flake in the field off the chin. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate blending to olive brown in protected areas. MDS. There are microscopic radial die flowlines in the fields but the repunching on the first S in STATES and O in OF is still clear. Graded AU50 by Del Bland. This is the plate coin for the variety in the John Wright reference on the cents of 1816-1839. Estimated Value $300-UP
