Lot 691
1851 N-21 R4. AU-58. Frosty light olive and bluish steel with satiny mint luster showing in the protected areas. The only marks are a tiny tick hidden in the hair right of the earlobe and a thin, barely visible vertical scratch on the inner curl. Neither of these marks is distracting, in fact they are hard to see. MDS, die state b. The strong die lines behind ONE CENT have been lapped off the die leaving only short points from some of those letters. Tied for CC#5.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
