Lot 1451
1822 N-7 R3+. Fine-15. Double Profile. Ten points sharper with uniform microscopic roughness under a glossy chocolate and light olive brown patina. No verdigris, and the only mark is a very light rim bruise at the second T in STATES. EDS. This cent offers eye appeal better than the assigned grade. A clear double profile shows along the top of the head, from the tip of the coronet down to the chin, on the bust, and on stars 8-13. While some later years in the 30's are relatively common with a double profile from die bounce, cents of 1822 with double profiles are extremely rare.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
