Lot 319
1830 N-7 R3 VF35. VF-35. Glossy olive and medium steel brown. The surfaces are smooth and covered with satiny luster. The only mark is a faint hairline scratch in the field from near star 3 to before the forehead. M-LDS with the tip of the coronet and stars weakly struck, as usual. Everything else is well struck and the overall eye appeal is excellent. The die crack from the bust tip to the rim under star 1 is clear. Called VF35 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #28280. Bland also says VF35 and has it tied for CC#2 among the confirmed examples in his census. Comes with an outstanding provenance. DWH #1907.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
