Lot 448
1851 N-18 R1 MS60. Glossy golden light brown with delicate overtones of sea-green on the reverse. A very light scuff in the field close over star 2, a short struck-through line just right of star 4, and a speck of darker toning at the upper junction of the I & B in LIBERTY are the notable marks. MDS, die state b. The spike down from the dentils over star 8 is gone but the points down from the diagonals of the N’s in ONE CENT remain visible. There is a large low spot covering most of the neck with similar low spots affecting the wreath under CEN, above ON, and on the E in ONE, all as struck (caused by debris on the dies). DWH #2329.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
