Lot 28
1817 N-2 R3. EF-45. Frosty chocolate and steel brown with subtle specks of reddish chocolate toning sprinkled about the obverse. A faint hairline from the front edge of the neck to just under the earlobe and a very light rim bruise at star 10 are the only notable marks. LDS with a die crack from the bust tip to the dentils under star 1 and a bisecting reverse crack from F-A to NI. The earlier die crack down through the first S in STATES is strong. An attractive example of this scarce variety. Called EF45 net EF40 by Noyes, his photo #37122. DWH #0390.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Howard R. Newcomb, J. C. Morgenthau #461, 5/16/45:497-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 12/6/84:1560.
