Lot 86
1818 N-4 R4+ VF30. VF-30. Glossy light olive and steel brown. Corrosion free surfaces showing only minor contact marks, including light nicks around ONE and a thin nick over the E in UNITED. E-MDS without any trace of the die crack through star 3 and crisp dentils all the way around both sides. There is just the barest hint of swelling in the field over the bust tip plus tiny areas of swelling over star 3, right of star 6, and under the inner hairbun. Otherwise the obverse fields are perfectly smooth. The O in ONE is starting to weaken but remains complete. Tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census as VF35 net VF30, his photo #26875. Removed from an NGC slab graded EF40 (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Reiver provenance). DWH #2901.
Estimated Value $7,500-UP.
