Lot 750
1854 N-2 R1. MS-60. Lustrous light olive and bluish steel brown with generous traces of mint color remaining on both sides. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and this cent is choice except for a shallow low spot in the field off the chin and another under star 7. These were caused by debris stuck to the die. A speck of darker toning near the dentils above star 10 is the best identifying mark. MDS, die state b early. The die line across the bottom of the N in ONE is gone and the small lump over the left top of the N in CENT is barely visible.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
Ex Dr. Bob Shalowitz-David Skaggs 8/01-Phyllis Thompson.
