Lot 164
1822 N-8 R4 VF35. VF-35. At least five points sharper but there are too many tiny contact marks for the higher grade. None of these marks is distracting and the eye appeal remains excellent. The best identifying defects are a small spot of darker steel toning at the dentils over star 4 and a dull nick on the left foot of the M in AMERICA. Glossy chocolate brown with lots of frosty tan and light brown toning faded down from mint color in protected areas. M-LDS. The obverse die is uncracked but a faint crack extends through the tops of UNITED STATES OF AMER and a stronger nearly straight die crack reaches from the rim through the F in OF down to the left side of the ribbon. Minor crumbling shows at the dentils roots over the left side of the first T in STATES. The fields are smooth and prooflike on both sides, and this cent offers the eye appeal of a significantly higher grade. Called EF40 net VF30 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #25436. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU58BN (NGC label included). DWH #2595.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
