Lot 328
1830 N-11 R5 VF35. Wright Plate Coin. VF-35. Five points sharper but lightly cleaned and retoned glossy steel brown and chocolate with underlying golden tan in protected areas. A splash of light olive toning shows at the dentils from the 18 to star 2 and another at TES-OF. Otherwise free of any marks or other defects. The die clashmarks on the reverse are strong. EDS, the usual die state for the variety with both dies well worn, especially the reverse. Called EF45 in the Noyes condition census and finest known by a full 10 points, his photo #28502. Bland says AU50 and CC#1 by 15 points in his census. Either way, this is clearly the finest known example of a very rare cent. Plated in the Wright book to illustrate the variety. Another very important cent in Dan’s collection of Middle Date Large Cents. DWH #3152.
Estimated Value $7,500-UP.
Ex Ray Phillip (Cleveland, Ohio) 7/82-John D. Wright 1/18/06-Bob Grellman & Chris McCawley 4/3/06.
