Lot 718
1852 N-22 R1. MS-60. Lustrous chocolate and olive brown with traces of faded red showing through on both sides. The reverse is choice while the obverse may have been very lightly cleaned and retoned as there are very faint traces of an old fingerprint in the field before the portrait. A couple very light marks on the rim over the N in UNITED are the best identifying defects. Scarce EDS, die state a, before the tiny lump formed under the left foot of the Y in LIBERTY. The fine die lines from the back of the portrait are sharp and the dies are uncracked. Not in the overall condition census for the variety but CC#3 of those known in the early die state.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
