Lot 499
1842 N-5 R3. AU-50. Large Date. Sharpness very close to mint state but there is a small, dull scrape on the chin and a few tiny contact marks elsewhere on the obverse. Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with a couple tiny peeps of faded mint red on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal in spite of the minor marks. EDS, die state a. The fine die lines from the dentils at star 12 are clear. CC#6.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
