Lot 179
1823 Restrike EF45. EF-45. Glossy medium brown and chocolate. Covered with a very thin layer of lacquer (which could be removed rather easily, if desired). Excellent eye appeal for the grade, free of any spots or marks. MDS with the earlier bisecting obverse crack plus a crack from the rim to the top of D in UNITED, but without the additional crack from the bottom of that D to the leaf below the adjacent S. The reverse is rotated 30 degrees CCW. According to Breen, this die state was struck beginning in 1879. Noyes photo #39632. Weight 161.6 grains. DWH #0569.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
