Lot 862
1854 N-9 R2 AU55. The so-called "Dartboard Obverse" variety. Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with a peep of very faded mint color on the reverse. Excellent eye appeal showing only a hint of friction on the highest points of the devices. The only mark is a dull nick on the rim under the 4 in the date. E-MDS, die state b. A very shallow low spot covers most of the cheek and neck, as struck. The stray 1 punched into the right side of the ear is strong and the fields are just starting to show fine radial die flowlines. A nice example of this popular variety.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
