Lot 1057
1843 N-11 R2 AU58. Lustrous light olive and steel brown with a subtle hint of bluish steel overtone on the obverse. The only mark is a small spot of light reddish chocolate toning left of the O in ONE. Great eye appeal for the grade, just the lightest trace of rub on the highest points from mint state. MDS, die state c early. The die crack from the dentils to the I in AMERICA is very light and does not extend through that letter. An attractive cent that comes with a nice provenance.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Jerry Bobbe 5/77-R. S. Brown, Jr., Superior 9/30/86:966-Dr. Thomas S. Chalkley, Superior 1/28/90:902.
