Lot 715
1848 N-32 R5 F12+. Slightly sharper with a few too many light contact marks for the higher grade. A dull diagonal nick between the bust tip and star 1 and another close under the earlobe are the only notable marks. Nice glossy light to medium chocolate brown with smooth surfaces. MDS with the always-present die crack from the second S in STATES through the wreath to RI in AMERICA. A decent example of a rare variety that seldom comes in higher grade. Tied for CC#15 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
From the "57th Street Hoard".
