Lot 282
1829 N-5 R3+ VF35. Small Letters Reverse. VF-35. Five points sharper but lightly cleaned, now nicely retoned glossy light olive brown and chocolate with flowline frost in protected areas. This is an attractive cent that is free of any notable marks or other defects. The surfaces and frost suggest a higher grade, but the usual soft strike on the hair and leaves makes assigning a higher grade difficult, even though there is little actual wear. EDS, before any of the obverse dentils crumble. DWH #0696.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
