Lot 56
1843 N-9 R2 AU58+. Very close to mint state, just the barest hint of rub on the highest points. Lustrous light bluish steel brown with faded mint red in protected areas of the reverse. The notable marks are a very faint diagonal hairline scratch across the cheek and a small spot of reddish brown toning in the field close to the center of the nose. E-MDS, die state a late. The date repunching is clear and most of the fine die lines are still visible, although a bit dull. Small but clear rim cud breaks show from the right side of star 8 to the left side of star 10. This cent offers mint state eye appeal. CC#5 in the Grellman census. DWH #2405.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex R. S. Brown, Jr., Superior 9/30/86:963-R. E. Naftzger, Jr. (via Bill Noyes)-Chris McCawley 3/04.
