1854 N-29 R3 VF25. Broadstruck. Five points sharper with a tiny rim bruise right of star 9 and a pinprick close under the right side of the E in CENT. Otherwise the surfaces and eye appeal of this piece are outstanding for the grade. Choice glossy medium brown. MDS, die state b. Broadstruck (struck outside the restraining collar allowing the planchet metal to expand far more than normal during the strike) with very wide rims around both sides. A very nice example of this extremely rare type of large cent error. DWH #3350.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
