Lot 51
1843 N-5 R1 Mature Head AU58. Lustrous bluish steel brown with faint peeps of faded mint red in a few protected areas. Nicely struck with just a hint of friction on the highest points. There are a few microscopic hairlines in the field before the face and a couple ticks on the chin, but the eye appeal remains excellent. M-LDS, die state c. The die lines over MER are gone. Tied for CC#6 overall but finest of the later die state. DWH #2026.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
