Lot 568
1818 N-2 R4 EF40. Choice frosty light olive and medium chocolate brown with a puff of slightly lighter brown toning between star 11 and the hair bun. No spots, stains, or roughness, only a few trivial contact marks. A thin vertical struck-through line left of star 12 and a tiny tick on the end of the chin can help identify this cent. MDS with a raised, retained cud break over NITED, strongest over NIT. Noyes graded EF40 net VF35 and tied for CC#9, his photo #22347. Graded EF40 by Del Bland. A beautiful cent in a neat die state. And it comes with a very nice provenance. Estimated Value $2,000 - UP
