Lot 619
1840 N-10 R2 PCGS graded "Genuine." Large Date. Sharpness near EF45 but cleaned and retoned glossy dark bluish steel brown with faded red covering the protected areas. This cent was lightly burnished when cleaned and there are a few fine pinscratches near the dentils at the top of the obverse. No spots or stains. Needs a proper retoning to achieve its potential. E-MDS, die state b. The point of the curl over the 4 is still blunt but the die line at the dentil tips over MERIC is gone.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
Ex S. M. Koeppel 1938 (one of Ted's earliest purchases).
