Lot 404
1850 N-14 R4 MS62. Lustrous steel brown with 20% underlying faded mint red remaining, mostly on the reverse.

Excellent eye appeal in spite of the minor defects. The surfaces are covered with satiny mint luster. M-LDS, die state b late. The die lines at the throat and ICA are gone and the fields are flowlined. CC#3 in the Grellman census. DWH #2141.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
