Lot 426
1835 N-10 R4+ VF20. Wright Plate Coin. VF-20. Sharper by nearly ten points but there is an area of microscopic roughness at stars 5 & 6 and the reverse fields are covered with similar extremely fine granularity. No verdigris, a light nick on the forehead the only contact mark. Glossy steel brown and chocolate, the reverse closer to matte due to the fine roughness. E-MDS. Both dies are cracked, as always, but the die crack through UNITED ST is not strong. The reverse is rotated 25 degrees CW. Called VF30 net VF20 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #28422. Bland says VF25 and tied for CC#3 in his list. This is the Wright plate coin for the variety. DWH #1911.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
