Lot 1
1816 N-1. Fine-12. Sharpness VF20 but covered with extremely fine roughness. No verdigris or marks. Rather glossy dark chocolate and olive brown, the obverse glossier than the reverse. A shallow planchet flake weakens the base of the first 1 in the date. Excellent eye appeal in spite of the imperfect surfaces. Rare early die state, before any crumbling in the obverse dentils, and those dentils are very strong. DWH #1073.
Estimated Value $350-UP.
