Lot 372
1802 NC-1 R5+ G6. Sharpness F15 but lightly corroded and there are traces of greenish verdigris in protected areas on the obverse. The only notable contact marks are a series of light rim bruises around most of the coin. The date and legends are complete and clear, and the diagnostic spike down from the bust right of the date is obvious. Slightly glossy dark chocolate brown with lighter chocolate on the devices. EDS, Breen state I, before the bisecting die crack on the obverse. Breen called this state "Extremely Rare," but we have seen a few. Estimate Value $300 - UP
