1839 N-3 R1 MS60. MS-60. Head of 1838. Lustrous light golden tan and bluish steel brown with hints of reddish steel overtone on the obverse. Possibly dipped long ago, but the luster and eye appeal remain decent. A tiny, faint hairline scratch in the dentils at star 12 and another diagonal one over the ON in ONE are the only marks. LDS with a die crack from the nostril down to the bust and a depression in the field between star 1 and the throat. The berry under AM is gone. Called MS62 and CC#9 in the Noyes census, his photo #20987.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
Ex Van Roden, Stack's 5/2/68:346.
