Lot 311
1830 N-4 R2 MS60+. Partial Double Profile. Wright Plate Coin. MS-60+. Lustrous steel and light olive brown. There are hints of microscopic hairlines on the obverse, possibly from a very light cleaning long ago, but the cartwheel luster and eye appeal remain excellent. No spots or stains, and the only marks are an extremely shallow low spot (from crud on the die) off the bust tip and another small one nestled between the upper right points of star 7. MDS with a die crack up from the right top of the E in UNITED to the dentils above in addition to the die cracks always present on both sides of this variety. A clear double profile caused by die bounce shows on the forehead and tip of the nose. The reverse is not rotated. Plated in the Wright book to illustrate the variety. DWH #3146.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
