Lot 170
1838 N-16 R5-. PCGS graded AU-55. Very attractive glossy medium brown and light olive with traces of faded mint red in protected areas, especially on the reverse. Looks mint state but there is a hint of rub on the highest points of the devices plus a few nicks on the obverse. The notable marks are a thin horizontal nick right of the upper lip, a diagonal nick on the jaw, and a couple lighter diagonal nicks in the field off the end of the chin. MDS, the usual die state struck from worn out dies that were used in earlier marriages. Noyes photo #61459 but not graded. Our grade is net AU50+.
