Lot 457
1836 N-6 R2 VF25. Gobrecht Head. VF-25. Five points sharper with too many light nicks on the obverse for the higher grade. A smooth depression in the field right of star 2 appears to be as struck, possibly caused by debris on the die. Glossy medium brown, the obverse especially glossy thanks to a coat of lacquer. M-LDS with 4 radial die cracks on the reverse. The three radial cracks described for the previous lot are present and a new one extends from the leaf tip between the D and S to the dentils. The final (fifth) radial crack through F to the dentils reaches the base of that letter but does not yet extend from the top of that letter to the dentils. The usual cud break over star 8 is strong and the reverse is not rotated. DWH #0856.
Estimated Value $80-UP.
