Lot 633
1817 N-7 R7+ (for the die state) VG10. Sharpness VF35 but the surfaces are covered with very fine roughness under rather glossy dark olive toning. Shallow verdigris covers the protected areas on both sides. The major eye-catcher is a planchet lamination that reaches across the obverse from above star 4 to star 13 (as struck). Extremely rare EDS without any trace of the usually seen "Mouse" break on top of the head. Less than 10 examples are known, and the finest of that group grades VF20.
Estimated Value $900-UP.
