Lot 321
1830 N-8 R1 VF30. VF-30. Sharpness near EF40 but there is a small dig at the right top of the second S in STATES, plus a couple small pinpricks at the base of the 1 in the date. Lightly cleaned and retoned glossy chocolate and steel with hints of very faded red in protected areas of the reverse. LDS. The obverse dentils are worn but relatively strong while the reverse dentils are nearly gone and the legend outside the wreath is weak. In addition there are strong die clashmarks inside the wreath, similar to the ones found on N-11 of this year. This is the only strongly clashmarked example seen by John Wright and it is described in his book on the series. DWH #3149.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
