Lot 407
1835 N-4 R4+ VF20. VF-20. Sharpness close to VF25 but there is a planchet flake in the field at the inner curl and a tiny pinscratch across the E in CENT. The planchet flake is a mint-made flaw, but it catches the eye. Otherwise this cent is smooth and very nice for the grade. Glossy medium brown. Rare terminal die state with a large cud break at NITED. Called VF25 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF25 net F15 and tied for CC#10, his photo #31794. Near the lower end of the condition census for the variety, but significantly higher among those few known with the rim cud. DWH #3316.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
