Lot 825
1852 N-21 R4 EF45. Attractive frosty medium chocolate brown with underlying mint luster in the protected areas on both sides. Just a few trivial marks from flawless. The notable ones are a faint hint of reddish chocolate toning in the field before the lips and a tiny nick on the coronet over the L in LIBERTY. MDS, die state b, with a die crack from the coronet through star 5 to the dentils over star 4. The dies are unclashed. Tied for CC#14 in the Grellman census. Comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
