Lot 92
1845 N-2 R1 MS60+. Glossy bluish steel brown with smooth, slightly reflective fields. A tiny splash of darker olive toning shows midway between star 1 and the throat and another of lighter brown toning is found at the feet of NE in ONE. The only contact mark is a nick hidden in the hair about E in LIBERTY. Sharply struck EDS, die state a, with full radial lines in the stars. The lump in the field over N in ONE is clear and fine die lines join the left base of the second A in AMERICA to the leaf below. The fields are smooth and slightly reflective offering great eye appeal for the grade. Tied for CC#6 in the Grellman census. DWH #2035.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
