Lot 220
1826 N-5 R2+ VF30+. VF-30+. Five points sharper with some faint hairlines in the left obverse field and a light rim bruise at E in UNITED. Glossy chocolate and steel brown with some frosty light brown in protected areas. LDS. The rim crumbling from star 5 to star 7 is clear and another small rim cud fills the space between stars 7 & 8 leaving a void above star 7. The small rim cud at star 4 is clear as well. The series of rim cud breaks (or dentil crumbling if you prefer) is especially well defined on this example, which is not the case on most late state pieces, even those in high grade. The reverse is rotated 15 degrees CW. DWH #0614.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
