Lot 362
1831 N-12 R1 G4. Good-4. Slightly sharper but recolored a mottled mix of glossy medium brown, chocolate, and darker steel brown. The date and legends are clear. 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." Obviously this piece was struck just before a small section of the die broke away to create the relatively common 2-point cud die state. DWH #1746.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
