1844 N-1 R1 Repunched 1 AU55. Lustrous light olive and steel brown with about 20% of the planchet showing mint red. Would rate a choice mint state grade except for some faint horizontal hairlines across the lower half of the obverse, and these are visible only when you get the light at the correct angle. No spots, stains, or additional contact marks. M-LDS, die state d, with die cracks on the reverse. The repunching off the right bottom of the 1 is dull but still visible. Value $300 - UP
