Lot 320
1830 N-8 R1 EF45+. EF-45+. Slightly sharper with a light nick in the field close before the nose tip, a dull rim nick at star 13, a short hairline scratch under the wreath ribbon, and a line of tiny pinpricks under NITE. None of these marks is at all distracting and the eye appeal is excellent. Glossy steel brown and chocolate with some underlying frosty lighter brown, mostly on the upper portion of the obverse. Sharply struck E-MDS. The dentils are sharp and the fields are just starting to display fine radial flowlines. A fine die crack extends from the bust tip to the dentils under star 1. DWH #0737.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
Ex Howard R. Newcomb, J. C. Morgenthau 5/45:619-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 12/4/84:1668.
