Lot 422
1822 N-11 R1 AU50. Frosty medium brown with slightly darker steel brown and light chocolate toning on the devices. Lighter tan toning faded down from mint color shows in some of the protected areas and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. Just a faint touch of friction on the highpoints of the devices and a few trivial contact marks. A thin diagonal nick on the neck and a tiny, dull pinprick just right of the nostril are the only notable marks. MDS. The fields are smooth but extremely faint die rust (tiny lumps on the coin) show on the portrait. Called AU50 by Del Bland. Noyes photo #37193. Comes with a nice provenance. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
