Lot 392
1825 N-10 R3 VF25. Ten points sharper with patches of very fine porosity scattered about the reverse, strongest at UNI. The obverse is mostly smooth but a few traces of microscopic roughness can be found with a strong glass. Glossy reddish brown and chocolate with darker steel brown highpoints on the obverse and darker olive brown on the reverse. Scarce LDS with a cud break joining star 7 to the rim above. The earlier die crack from the bust tip to the rim left of the date has not strengthened since it first appeared. Stars 11-13 show fine doubling from die bounce. A nice example of a tough die state. Estimate Value $300 - UP
