Lot 448
1847 N-22 R3+ EF40. Ten points sharper but cleaned and retoning bluish steel and olive brown with faded artificial red remaining visible in protected areas. The only marks are a small, dull nick in the field left of star 11 and a faint hairline scratch in the field over the bust tip. Sharply struck E-MDS, die state c early. The die crack from the dentils under star 1 does not reach the neck and the crack from the dentils to star 8 does not extend to the hair. This cent deserves a better retoning.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
