Lot 579
1857 N-1 R1 Large Date VF20. Broadstruck. Sharpness VF30 or a bit better but there is a dull dent on the rim under star 1 that’s strong enough to cause a bulge on the opposing rim over the A in STATES. Otherwise the only marks are some pinpricks under star 12. Choice glossy chocolate brown and the surfaces are flawless except for the marks already described. M-LDS, die state b. Broadstruck outside the collar, the diameter extended to 29.0 millimeters rather than the usual 28.0 as a result. A very rare type of mint error for a late date large cent. DWH #2303.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
