Lot 55
1817 N-12 R3. Good-5. Slightly sharper with a patch of fine roughness in the field off the chin, a shall pitmark over star 2, and a patch of fine roughness at stars 7-10. There are some shallow pits on the upper right reverse and tiny nicks scattered about both sides, none notable. Rather glossy chocolate with medium steel brown toning on the devices. M-LDS. The obverse die cracks are strong and the section outside the die crack joining stars 1-3 is clearly sunken and shifted outward as a retained cud break. The area between the lower left points of star 1 is filled with a small internal cud break. A very rare late die state, but not the latest. DWH #0425.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
