Lot 569
1853 N-29 R3 VG10. Clipped Planchet. Five points sharper but there is a patch of fine corrosion at stars 7-8. Otherwise the surfaces are decent with only a few marks, including a disjointed scratch from over star 3 to the eyebrow. Rather glossy dark olive with lighter chocolate high points. A planchet clip affects the dentils at stars 2-3 and over ED-S, and the dentils directly across from the clip are weak, the so-called Blakesly effect seen on cents struck on clipped planchets. DWH #3358.
Estimated Value $20-UP.
