Lot 120
1841 N-4 R1 EF40. Sharpness near mint state but lightly cleaned and rather poorly recolored, now a mix of brown tones ranging from light to dark. The only mark is a tiny planchet flake in the dentils over the second S in STATES (as struck). A cent that could benefit from a proper recoloring. LDS, die state d. The earlier die lines under the 4 are gone and there is a clearly defined rim cud break under the date extending well to the left and right. Seldom found with the rim cuds this clear. Estimated Value $175 - UP
