Lot 361
1817 N-1 R4 VF30. Sharpness VF35 or slightly better but this piece was lightly cleaned long ago and is now nicely retoned an attractive glossy light olive brown. The only marks are a very faint spot of microscopic roughness that surrounds star 7 and a small pitmark at the dentils under the end of the wreath ribbon. Excellent eye appeal in spite of the minor defects. LDS with a clear die crack from the bust tip to the rim under star 1 and another crack from the tip of the coronet to the dentils left of star 6. The always-present rim cud at AM (from the earlier N-16 marriage) is clear and the reverse is rotated 15 degrees CCW. Called VF30 net VF25 in the Noyes census, his photo #27826.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
Ex Ray Chatham 2/1978 (during the EAC Convention).
