Lot 280
1829 N-4 R4 EF45+. EF-45+. Choice glossy light steel brown with frosty mint luster covering the protected areas and major portions of the fields, especially on the reverse. The surfaces are very attractive, just a few contact marks from perfect. The notable marks are a microscopic pinprick over the left side of the 2 in the date, a faint vertical hairline scratch up between the E & N in CENT, a tiny struck-through mark on the bottom of the O in ONE, and a tiny hairline scratch over the right top of the E in AMERICA. MDS with a clear die crack from the dentils through the R in AMERICA to the wreath below. The strike is excellent, far better than normal for this variety. A new discovery that’s clearly CC#4. Of the 3 better ones, one is in the ANS and another is flatly struck. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU58BN (NGC label included). An outstanding example of this tough variety. DWH #2479.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
