Lot 132
1822 N-9 R5- VG8. VG-8. Slightly sharper but there are numerous contact marks on an otherwise attractive planchet. A collection of fine hairline scratches cover much of the field before the portrait and there are rim bruises right of star 13 and at the bottom of the reverse. Glossy chocolate brown. Rare late die state with a raised retained cud break at TES, about as fully raised as ever seen for this cud break. Called VG7 in the Noyes census, his photo #21748. Bland says VG8. The fact that this was the best example of the latest state in Ted's collection attests to its rarity.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Ex Copley Coin Co. (Boston)-Admiral William S. Bitler-Abe Kosoff 4/61 (who gave this cent to Ted Naftzger in return for cataloging the Bitler collection for sale to P. A. Palmer of Newport Savings & Loan). This interesting historical side note is written on Ted's envelope.
