Lot 76
1818 N-2 R4+ VG7. VG-7. A few points sharper with two dull and rather strong dents on the dentils at star 5 and another on the dentils right of star 11. There are some additional light nicks on both sides consistent with the grade. Glossy medium brown with reddish chocolate in some protected areas. Nicely struck and the eye appeal is decent for the grade in spite of the contact marks. E-MDS. The die crack through the top of UNITED ST is stronger and a radial crack connects its right end to the rim above. The area outlined by these die cracks over TED-S is slightly sunken and the right top of that T has shifted towards the rim. Comes with an impressive provenance for what appears to be a humble cent. DWH #0444.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
