Lot 946
1819 N-5 R3 AU50. Sharpness very close to mint state but there is a patch of faint roughness left of the O in ONE plus smaller ones resting on top of the coronet over the L and at the top of star 10. Otherwise this piece is virtually flawless. Very attractive lustrous chocolate brown with lighter golden brown and tan faded down from mint color in protected areas, mostly on the obverse. MDS. A new discovery that has not been seen by Bland or Noyes, but certainly a candidate for the condition census. Comparable to the Holmes example, lot 115 in our 30 May 2010 auction, that brought $4025.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
Ex Sims (Richmond VA).
