1853 N-6 R1. AU-58. Frosty dark bluish steel and olive with frosty light brown and tan toning covering the protected areas on both sides. Nearly flawless, just a hint of friction on the highest points from mint state. A light nick on the rim at star 12 and a tiny planchet flake hidden in the dentils over the left top of the U in UNITED are the only defects. MDS, die state b. The die lines from the dentils at star 2 are faint, nearly gone, and the reverse is cracked through UNITED STATES, as usual.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
