Lot 482
1835 N-11 R4+ Head of 1834 G4. Several points sharper but the dentils were flattened under the date and at stars 5-6 with similar damage to the opposing dentils on the reverse. Otherwise there are only minor contact marks consistent with the grade. The surfaces are smooth and glossy except for a spot of fine roughness covering the second A in AMERICA. Glossy dark chocolate and steel mixed with lighter reddish chocolate in protected areas. The date and legends are clear. Rare LDS with a cud break that joins the top of the U in UNITED to the rim above, and this cud break extends to below the ribbon fold. Perhaps a dozen or so known with this large cud break.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
