Lot 524
1846 N-8 R1 MS60. Lustrous steel brown and light olive with generous traces of mellowed mint color, mostly on the obverse. The only mark is a spot of fine carbon at the dentils close above star 11. Otherwise the surfaces are choice. Softly struck, particularly at the truncation above the date, all the stars, and on the upper part of the wreath. MDS, die state a late. The die lines at the throat and behind the N in ONE are clear. Comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
