Lot 6
1816 N-6 R2 AU50. Sharpness closer to mint state but there is a splash of reddish chocolate toning in the wreath under the first A in AMERICA. Otherwise the toning is a very attractive lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with a few small splashes of darker olive brown toning on both sides. Frosty golden light brown and tan faded down from mint color shows in many of the protected areas. No contact marks, just a touch of rub on the highpoints of the devices. MDS. The small chip on the upper edge of the loop of the 6 is clear. Both sides display radial die flowlines and the obverse fields show microscopic lumps from die rust. Traces of edge reeding are visible from star 4 to star 7. Estimate Value $800 - UP
