Lot 471
1848 N-11 R5- VF25. Sharper by at least 5 points but the obverse is covered with extremely faint roughness. No verdigris and the only marks are a light nick right of the lower lip and a tiny planchet flake on the rim at star 13. Rather glossy medium brown blending to light chocolate in protected areas. This cent offers nice eye appeal in spite of the extremely fine roughness. Rare TDS, die state e, with 3 rim cud breaks on the reverse. The two cuds over TES are strong while the one at D-S is relatively weak but clearly present. Tied for CC#10 honors for the die state in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $80-UP.
Ex Superior 2/2007:231-Eric Fix (lot ticket included).
