Lot 347
1831 N-9 R2 AU58+. Partial Double Profile. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown and chocolate with traces of mint red remaining in protected areas, especially on the reverse. Excellent luster and eye appeal, only a very light touch of rub on the highest points from mint state. The only mark is a tiny spot of carbon or crud near the dentils over star 3. Nicely struck EDS with an arcing die guideline in the field right of the date even with the base of the second 1. A clear die crack passes through the top of the date reaching through stars 1-7 and 13-9. Another fine die crack extends down into the field from the lower right point of star 5 but fades out before reaching the earlier crack above star 4. The extension of the die crack from star 5 to the dentils at that star has not formed. The fields on both sides are smooth and slightly reflective. In addition, there is clear a double profile on the forehead from die bounce. Our grade is AU58+. Pop 2; 1 in 64. DWH #3216.
Estimated Value $800-UP.
