Lot 190
1825 N-1 R4 EF45. EF-45. Glossy chocolate and light olive brown with frosty luster peeking through in protected areas, especially on the reverse. The only marks are a small, dull nick that flattens the tip of the nose plus several tiny ticks in the field to the left. The surfaces are mostly smooth and offer excellent eye appeal, but a strong glass reveals traces of extremely fine roughness in a few places, including the cheek and around star 5. The reverse is choice. Sharply struck MDS with the usual die crack through the base of the date and fine radial die flowlines that cover the fields. Called AU55 net VF35 by Noyes and tied for CC#10, his photo #59217. Removed from a PCGS slab graded MS62BN (PCGS label included). DWH #2668.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
