Lot 443
1835 N-18 R4+ VF20. Partial Double Profile. VF-20. Sharpness near VF35 but burnished and retoned a glossy reddish chocolate and steel brown with darker olive brown toning in some of the protected areas, mostly on the reverse. No spots or corrosion. The only marks of any consequence are a couple small nicks in the hair over BE in LIBERTY, some tiny ticks around stars 7-13 and under the date, plus a few more at ATE in STATES. MDS, the usual die state, with small rim cud breaks at star 13, under the 35, and at star 2. There is strike doubling at the lips, BERTY, and on most of the stars. Decent eye appeal in spite of the defects. Near the top of the condition census for this rare variety, second or third finest depending on the horse you're riding. Noyes says VF35 net VF25 and CC#3, his photo #28936. Removed from an NCS slab graded "AU details, burnished." NCS label is included. DWH #2625.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
